Choice to levy taxes on shops in five big cities across the country.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to levy taxes on retailers in 5 major cities of the country.

According to FBR sources, it has been decided to impose tax on retailers in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Quetta.

Sources suggest that an estimated revenue of 100 billion rupees is expected from taxing retailers in these 5 major cities.

FBR has prepared a scheme to tax 35 lakh retailers across the country. In the first phase, retailers in Islamabad and the four provincial capitals will be taxed.

It’s worth noting that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has imposed a condition to increase the tax net for providing credit to Pakistan. Sources indicate that the decision to impose tax on retailers is also a step in fulfilling this IMF requirement.
