ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s top tax authorities announced a major crackdown on tax evaders, issuing notices to hundreds and thousands of people known for having taxable income but failing to file tax returns, and now the SIM cards and mobile phones of tax evaders will be blocked from Jan 15.
Reports suggest that federal law enforcement agencies will enforce stringent measures against non-filers.
On Jan 15, FBR will issue orders to block SIM cards, and cell phones of non-filers.
Officials are chalking out a strategy to disconnect the electricity and gas connections of those refusing to pay taxes. But as of 2024, the Revenue Department lacks data on the electricity connections of non-filers.
