ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue held an emergency moot to explore new revenue mobilisation measures aimed at bridging a Rs683 billion shortfall in the 2025–26 fiscal year.
The session, chaired by Rashid Mahmood Langrial, took place at the FBR headquarters in Islamabad and was attended by senior officials from across the organisation.
Discussions focused on enforcement to be implemented during the remaining months of May and June.
Sources indicated that, in a significant move, authorities may impose restrictions on taxpayers who have outstanding dues where legal stays have expired but payments remain unpaid despite repeated efforts.
The FBR is also expected to direct its field formations to intensify recovery efforts, including pursuing arrears and attaching bank accounts in cases where court-ordered stays are no longer valid.
Recovering pending tax liabilities has been identified as the top priority, with enforcement actions—such as bank account attachments—likely to be carried out in cases where more than six months have passed since the expiry of stay orders.
Officials clarified that these steps do not involve introducing new taxes or a mini-budget for the текущий fiscal year. Instead, the focus remains firmly on collecting outstanding dues from taxpayers before the fiscal year concludes.
