Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has stepped up efforts to achieve its annual tax target for the financial year 2023-24 by issuing a directive to ensure comprehensive collection of duties and taxes.

In a letter sent to all concerned offices, the FBR has mandated extension of working hours for the last days of June.

FBR offices across the country, including major taxpayer units and regional offices, will keep their doors open till late night from June 28 to 30.

The directive includes specific instructions for the Chief Commissioners of Land Revenue to liaise closely with the State Bank of Pakistan to facilitate this process.

These initiatives are part of FBR‘s concerted efforts to ensure effective collection of all due taxes and duties, thereby helping to achieve the set tax revenue targets for the financial year.

The extended hours are expected to provide ample opportunity to taxpayers to meet their tax obligations, thereby helping the overall fiscal health of the country.

On June 28, offices will remain open until 8 PM.
On Saturday, June 29, offices will be operational until 6 PM.
