NBR rolls out scheme for tax returns e-filing
Taxpayers will be able to file their tax returns online in the next fiscal year, the National Board of Revenue said yesterday.
“As a citizen, you will no longer need to visit us to file your tax returns,” NBR Chairman Md Ghulam Hussain said at a press briefing, organised to announce the e-filing scheme.
The move, the revenue authority said, will enhance transparency and accountability in tax filing and ensure higher compliance.
Currently, less than 1 percent of the population pays income tax regularly, although the NBR is of the belief that the country has 60 lakh people with taxable incomes. Of them, nearly 15 lakh have TINs now.
