PESHAWAR: To facilitate businesses associated with the services sector and ensure tax compliance, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) has launched a special registration, monitoring, and enforcement drive in the Galiyat, Naran, and Kaghan regions.
Teams of KPRA officers will visit the business premises of service providers to provide on-the-spot registration. The teams will examine the sales records of service providers already registered with KPRA to ensure tax compliance and discourage tax evasion.
Director General Fauzia Iqbal stated that the purpose of initiating this special campaign is to facilitate the registration process for businesspersons in these areas, improve tax compliance, and ensure that the tax paid by taxpayers is reaching the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government treasury.
Fauzia Iqbal urged tourists visiting these spots to pay their taxes as a national responsibility. Tax evasion will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and strict legal action will be taken against those involved in tax evasion, she said.
Paying taxes is our legal obligation. Your taxes will not only make your province financially stable, but the funds will be spent on the development and beautification of these areas, providing you with the best possible facilities and enhancing the beauty of these scenic areas.
This will help the businesses operating in these areas to thrive, and our province will proceed on the path to prosperity.
Addressing the businesspersons, she said that the tax paid by the public is entrusted to them by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, and it is their legal responsibility to submit the tax money to the government’s treasury with full honesty. Strict legal action will be taken against those involved in tax evasion, she added.TPP
