FBR issues final notices to non-filers, warns of blocking mobile, utility disconnections

To implement this action, the FBR will issue the Income Tax General order in the running month

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has recently sent out final notices to non-filers regarding the blocking of their mobile SIM cards and disconnection of electricity and gas connections.

The move comes after the government had previously issued notices across the country, providing people with a one-month deadline to comply with their tax obligations.

Failure to meet the initial deadline, which expired on December 28, 2023, has resulted in the issuance of these final notices.

The FBR aims to enforce stricter measures against non-filers and has planned to initially block mobile SIM cards and phones as part of its strategy. To implement this action, the FBR will issue the Income Tax General order in the running month.

One of the notices directed at non-filers emphasizes the importance of filing tax returns to avoid the disconnection of electricity, gas, and mobile connections.

The FBR indicates its readiness to proceed with the blockage of mobile phones, clarifying that this action will take place sometime within this month, although not necessarily on January 15, 2024.

A senior FBR official confirmed that the blockage of mobile phones will be carried out positively and assured the public of the authority’s dedication to implementing these measures.

  1. What’s the take of Mobile Operators on this? Further Taxes are being deducted from each and every transaction, what is the point of blocking non-filers? in such low times for economy and businesses this is the most stupid step.

    Must be challenged in courts as CareTaker Govt have no mandate for such steps.

  2. نان فائلر توپہلے ھی تین گنا ٹیکس دیتا ہے ایک آدمی کی اتنی انکم ہی نہیں ہے کہ اس مہنگائی کے دور میں پیٹ بھر کے کھانا کھا سکے وہ ٹیکس ریٹرن کیسے بھرے گا کیا حکومت اسکا اور اسکے بچوں کا خرچہ اٹھائیے گی

  3. Sure. Caretaker Govt has already taken foolish steps of enhancing weapon license fee up to 2000% and driving license fee many folds.
    These must be challenged in courts. Lawyers societies must take steps in this regard

  4. Non-filers are facing difficulties in various services and imposed heavy taxes. Similarly FBR brought many skin and hair clinics in their network to deposit taxes. The Government should also bring various sectors and services in the tax network. 

  5. I’m paid the required tax be paid through the required to CNIC NO.4330405948983 but the iam SINDH govt employee of home department STA/ATA, Karachi Pakistan and fbr are sending to me the notice that the non payment for the payment of tax.Naveed Ahmed Hakro

  6. مسئلہ سب سے بڑا یہ ہے کے ہونے خون پسینے کی کمائی سے دیا ہوا ٹیکس جاتا کدھر ہے ۔ فوجیوں کی عیاشیوں اور بیوروکریٹس کی کرپشن کی نظر ہو جاتا ہے۔ بس بہت ہوگیا ہے یہ ٹوپی ڈراما پچھلے پچہتر سالوں سے۔ اب عوام کو چپ نے بیٹھنا چاہیے ۔ اپنا حق لینے کے لیے اٹھ کھڑا ہونا چایے
