The Large Taxpayers Office (LTO) Karachi has taken action to seal a Zellbury outlet, a prominent online fashion retail platform, due to the issuance of unverified sales tax invoices.
This measure is part of a broader initiative aimed at addressing tax non-compliance.
The operation was executed by the Inland Revenue of LTO Karachi Zone-1 at the Zellbury outlet situated in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, which was sealed for breaching tax regulations.
According to a press release, “Under the Sales Tax Act, 1990, and the Sales Tax Rules, 2006, all Tier-1 retailers are mandated to issue sales tax invoices via a Point of Sale (POS) Integrated System, as stipulated by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).”
