PRA exceeds revenue collection target

Tax collection maintains a growth of over 30%

The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has exceeded its revenue collection target for the financial year 2022-23, generating over Rs.197 billion four days prior to the closure of the financial year. 

The official spokesperson of PRA informed that the achievement was huge, if compared to the economic situation of the country where the overall growth of services remained at 0.86% 

“The PRA relied on taxpayer facilitation as well as effective enforcement to regular non-compliant taxpayers in the last quarter, resulting in generating a higher amount of tax collection. This is the fourth successive year in which PRA surpassed its revenue collection target and hopefully shall become the first provincial revenue collecting agency to cross the psychological barrier of Rs.200 billion, further establishing itself as the leading Provincial revenue collecting agency in the country,” she said. She added that the PRA has been performing exceptionally well in terms of revenue collection. During the first five months of the financial year 2022-23, the PRA collected a record Rs 73 billion which is 30% higher than the Rs 56.1 billion collected during the same period of financial year 2021-22. 

“The above collection figures reflect that the PRA has been able to achieve over 38% of its assigned target of Rs 190 billion for 2022-23 while maintaining growth of above 30% which translates into a remarkable contribution towards Punjab’s own source tax revenue,” she said.

It is pertinent to mention here that the PRA accounted for over 60% of Punjab’s own source tax revenue during the last financial year, collecting over. In November 2022, the PRA collected Rs15.6 billion against the target of Rs 14.9 billion, continuing its tradition of exceptional growth. During the same period last year, the PRA had collected Rs12.4 billion. The PRA collected Rs13.45 billion on account of sales tax on services during August 2022 as compared to the collection of Rs10.11 billion during the corresponding period of last year, showing an increase of 33% . The overall revenue collection during the current fiscal year till August stood at Rs 27.8 billion, which was 35% higher than Rs 20.59 billion in the same period of last year.

According to the spokesperson, the PRA has been focusing on taxpayer education and facilitation through training workshops and PRA’s online complaint/facilitation portal. The authority is also focusing on broadening the tax base through the registration of new taxpayers.

  7. It is possible to recover what you lost to scam brokers but most people don’t know this because they are either not informed or they have been conned by a recovery expert. Truth is there are only a few people who can pull this off and I was lucky to meet with one of them. If you need help with this I suggest you send a mail to “RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM”. Yes I’m doing this for the first time ever, after they helped recover over 458,000£ I invested into what I later found out to be a scam. I did promise to let the world know about the good works of this great group. Do well to let Russel know that Barb York referred you.

  8. Hello everyone here, this is the story of my life. I always knew my husband was up to something but I had no proof of this. He receives strange calls, he protects his phone jealously and would never drop it for any reason whatsoever, to the point of him taking it to the shower. This made me go online in search of ways I could remotely monitor his conversations, I tried a number of phone monitoring apps but each one of them failed to access his phone. I could not even physically access his phone, which made matters worse. I had already given up and resigned to fate when my younger sister introduced me to a hacker named REFUND POLICY they both went to the same college to help me read my husband’s messages and social medias just in case something was off, in less than a day REFUND POLICY helped me gain access to my husband’s phone remotely, I found out my husband has another wife with 2 children in another state. Last year has been the roughest of my life but now I feel relieved and working on me and my kids while the divorce papers are still in court. I just wanted to share this just incase anyone is in a situation where they don’t trust their partners anymore. There is no harm in wanting to know what your second half is into, it saves you from wasting more years of your life with people who do not deserve you. I will leave the hacker’s contacts below just incase anyone needs his services and assistance.

  9. Hello, my name is Ryan Chloe. I want to share with the world my sad experience with a fake cryptocurrency scammer after falling for his gimmicks. I was catfished by a man on POF, he then introduced me to this fake crypto miner. Honestly, everything the scammer showed me looks legit worth giving it a shot as it’s a short-term investment with lots of profits. My investment later turned sour and It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened. How I just lost $438.000.00 within a period of 3 months to this scammer. I reported to the authorities and there weren’t helping in anyways to help me recover my lost fund. I had lost at a point and was falling into depression until I came across an article online about Ethical hackers and their expertise in recovering BTC. I search for one and that’s when I discovered ROOTKITS SPAMMER. A hacker who could help me recover my funds, to my surprise ROOTKITS SPAMMER was able to trace and recouped every penny I thought I had lost. I am sharing this with the world because ROOTKITS saved my life and my career. Contact them at (spammer (@) fastservice.com) or +351 920 258 835

  11. I sincerely thought all hope was lost on my coinbase account and $103k worth various crypto. Having all the proof and info on my hacked account didn’t do so much with coinbase. I had to escalate to our local police here in George town Texas. I got a clever tip from a concerned officer who told me of a victim who he knew with similar case. The victim hired a A hacker named CRYPTO RECOVERY HACKER . This hacker countered hacked the hackers by tracing records and breaking protocols to recover the victim’s account and asset. I reached out to him to see what my chances were and of course high skepticism . He reached back same day and gave me a sincere contract we were to work with. I signed them and got shock messages in my email of my coinbase account access been restored with all of my crypto investment returned.

  12. Cyber-Genie is an endorsed hacker with years of expertise in BTC/Crypto token tracing and recovering it from fake investment website Bitcoin scammers.
