ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Juma ki raat jaari hone wale notifications ke mutabiq Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) ne apne Inland Revenue wing mein sales tax aur federal excise duty ko income tax se alag karne ka amal shuru kar diya hai, aur naye dhaanche ke nifaz ke liye 54 senior afsaran ke tabadlay aur taqarruriyan ki hain.
Naye nizam ke tehat tawaqqo hai ke January 2027 se karobari idaron ko sales tax aur income tax ke liye alag alag commissioners se rujoo karna hoga, jabke Customs ke saath un ke maujooda muamlaat is ke ilawa honge.
FBR ne Inland Revenue Service ke grade 21 ke afsar Dr Muhammad Sarmad Qureshi ko Member Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty (Technical) muqarrar kiya hai, jo Islamabad mein us ke headquarters mein aik naya ohda hai. FBR ke Board-in-Council ne is ohde ki manzoori di, aur board ka tanzeemi dhaancha nayi reporting lines ke saath dobara tarteeb diya gaya hai.
Raddobadal mein muntaqil kiye gaye 54 afsaran grade 17 se grade 21 tak ke hain.
Hafte tak Member Income Tax (Technical) ka koi mutawazi ohda notify nahin kiya gaya tha. Tawaqqo hai ke income tax ka kaam Member Inland Revenue (Operations) ke paas hi rahega, jabke FBR ke field daftaron mein sales tax ke alag zone qaim kiye jayenge.
Karobari idaron ke liye kya badlega
Ab tak Inland Revenue ke daftar aik hi taxpayer ke dono taxon ke muamlaat dekhte rahe hain. Is taqseem ke baad tawaqqo hai ke income tax aur sales tax ke case naye sire se taqseem kiye jayenge aur field mein dono taxon ka record alag kar diya jayega, yaani kisi company ko income tax ke liye aik commissioner, sales tax ke liye doosre aur apni daramadaat ke liye Customs se rujoo karna par sakta hai.
Tax mahireen ne FBR ke chairman se mutalba kiya hai ke woh naye member ke ikhtiyarat aur Member Inland Revenue (Operations) ke paas baqi reh jane wale daira-e-kaar ki wazahat karein. Un ka kehna tha ke abhi yeh wazeh nahin ke field daftar chalane wale chief commissioners chairman ko report karenge ya operations member ko, aur unhon ne sawal uthaya ke agar income tax ke afsaran badastoor operations member ko report karte rahenge to sales tax ko alag karne ka kya faida hai.
Kuch mahireen ne yeh bhi kaha ke yeh tabdeeli wifaqi aur soobai hukoomaton ki us koshish ke khilaf jati hai jis ka maqsad sales tax ke qawaid ko ham-aahang karna hai. Ashya par sales tax FBR wasool karta hai, jabke khidmaat par sales tax zyada tar soobay wasool karte hain.
Pas-e-manzar mein mehsoolat ki kami
Yeh tabdeeli aise waqt mein aayi hai jab FBR apni wasooliyon ka khala pur karne ki koshish kar raha hai. Woh rawan maali saal ke pehle chaar maah mein apne tax hadaf se 95 arab rupay peechhe raha, aur is kami ne sood ki adaigiyon ke bojh tale dabe budget par dabao mazeed barha diya hai, jaisa ke The Thursday Times ne is hafte report kiya.
FBR ne abhi tak is baare mein koi tafseeli wazahat jaari nahin ki ke naya dhaancha kaise kaam karega ya dono wings ke darmiyan case kaise taqseem honge.
Mazeed parhein: FBR chaar maah ke tax hadaf se 95 arab rupay peechhe
