Islamabad – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued thousands of tax recovery notices to salaried professionals, demanding payments for alleged discrepancies in their tax filings. The move has sparked widespread frustration, with many calling the notices unjustified and baseless.

What’s in the Notices?

The FBR claims that a significant number of salaried individuals have either underreported income or failed to disclose additional earnings. However, affected taxpayers argue that the deductions in their salaries are already made at the source through withholding tax mechanisms.

Public Reaction and Legal Challenges

Many recipients of these notices insist that they have accurately declared their earnings and paid the necessary taxes. Experts believe that the FBR’s aggressive taxation approach is a result of pressure to meet revenue targets set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Tax consultants advise affected individuals to challenge the notices through proper legal channels and demand clarity from tax authorities. The controversy is likely to intensify the ongoing debate about Pakistan’s taxation system and the government’s ability to fairly distribute the tax burden.
