FBR to impose travel and bank account restrictions on non-filers

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued a strong warning, indicating that those who fail to file income tax returns may face serious consequences, such as bank account suspension and limits on motorway and international flights.

In a significant move, the FBR is launching a nationwide survey to find and register non-filers, with sanctions ranging from utility cutoff to bank account suspension.

This project is part of the FBR’s larger plan to improve tax compliance and strengthen the country’s revenue system.

The FBR highlights the economic benefits of tax compliance and transparency by conducting surveys to collect data on business activities for publication on its official website.

Non-filers are urgently encouraged to satisfy their tax obligations in order to avoid legal repercussions and financial difficulties, as the FBR remains committed to ensuring tax compliance.
