In our commitment to bolster tax compliance and combat evasion, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) has embarked on a rigorous crackdown on non-compliant taxpayers in Peshawar. Led by Assistant Collectors Khalid Mansoor, Roohullah Khan, and Shahnawaz Khan, alongside inspectors, the KPRA has initiated targeted raids on prominent establishments along University Road, securing their financial records to enforce tax regulations effectively.
Proactive Enforcement Initiatives
Our recent operations targeted renowned restaurants like Habibi Restaurant and Dampukh Khorak, both of which have been unresponsive to multiple notices from the KPRA requesting compliance. Consequently, their financial records were seized in accordance with KPRA regulations. These actions underscore our proactive stance in addressing tax non-compliance within Peshawar’s business landscape.
Directive from KPRA Director General Fouzia Iqbal
Expressing deep concern over persistent non-compliance among restaurants and hotels, Director General Fouzia Iqbal emphasized the critical importance of ongoing enforcement measures. She underscored that adherence to tax obligations is paramount, warning of severe penalties, including record confiscation, bank account attachment, and business closure for non-compliant entities.
Urgent Call to Taxpayers
Director General Fouzia Iqbal urged all registered taxpayers with arrears or engaged in improper tax practices to settle their liabilities promptly. Failure to do so may lead to further enforcement actions, underscoring the KPRA’s unwavering commitment to tax transparency and accountability.
KPRA’s Commitment to Economic Stability
The stringent measures adopted by the KPRA signify our dedication to fostering tax compliance and deterring evasion. Through targeted enforcement efforts, we aim to cultivate a culture of tax responsibility, ultimately contributing to the economic stability and development of Peshawar and its surrounding regions.
Conclusion
The KPRA’s proactive approach towards tax compliance reflects our mission to create a level playing field for businesses in Peshawar. By instilling a culture of tax transparency and accountability, we aim to pave the way for sustainable economic growth and development across the region.
