Minister Bilal Azhar Kayani says Pakistan's fixed tax scheme for small retailers is succeeding, as FBR officials visit markets to boost registration.
Minister of State for Finance Bilal Azhar Kayani expressed confidence that the fixed tax scheme introduced for small shopkeepers and retailers will remain successful, calling it a practical initiative that broadens the tax base while also addressing shopkeepers' concerns.
Officials Are Coming to You Now
Talking to media in Islamabad, Kayani said an awareness campaign has been launched to encourage greater registration under the scheme, with FBR officials now visiting markets and bazaars directly to engage with shopkeepers and facilitate their registration in person.
The Bottom Line
Rather than expecting shopkeepers to navigate registration on their own, FBR is taking the process straight to the bazaars — a direct, on-the-ground push meant to turn confidence in the scheme into actual sign-ups.
