FBR gives additional charge to 27 senior officers to meet revenue targets

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has assigned additional responsibilities to 27 senior Inland Revenue Service officers as part of administrative changes aimed at meeting tax collection targets and improving revenue operations.

As per reports, Grade 20 officers have been given temporary charge of key positions for three months or until permanent appointments are made. The interim assignments have been made at FBR headquarters and field formations in Lahore, Islamabad and other major cities.

Officers have also received additional responsibilities in Regional Tax Offices, Large Taxpayer Units, Medium Tax Offices and different FBR directorates.

Sources said experienced officers had been placed in areas covering tax reforms, refunds, withholding tax, appeals, intelligence and training.

The changes are intended to speed up the handling of taxpayer matters and improve coordination across revenue operations.

FBR officials said the administrative measures would support the tax reform process, strengthen monitoring and improve the performance of field formations.

The tax authority expects the assignments to enhance its administrative capacity and support tax collection efforts across Pakistan.
