The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has sent a notice to a poor cycle mechanic, Imtiaz Ahmad, for ostensibly buying sugar worth Rs. 8 million.

While investigating a sugar scam, the FBR found out that from June 2017 to June 2020, the Hunza Sugar Mills in Faisalabad allegedly sold Rs. 6 billion worth of sugar to either fake or unregistered daily-wage laborers. The commodity was purchased by 1,239 unregistered buyers out of which 93 percent were not registered taxpayers.
FBR has sent notices to these bogus buyers. One of the alleged buyers, Imtiaz, claims that he has never seen Rs. 8 million even in his dreams. The destitute mechanic does not even have money to visit the FBR Lahore Office and clear his position. His narrative is supported by his neighbors, who revealed that Imtiaz does not even have his own house, and he can not possibly have such a large amount.

This country is a joke
Yes, a bad joke, unfortunately.
And your birth in this country is even a worse joke.
Why not FBR team investigate before sending a notice ? Should send notice to the seller that how they sold this much to a buyer without knowing his real business.
MATLAB YE TO WO BAT HOWI : JO SSGC KI VAN ATI HAI METER SAHI KARNE, USKO PAKAR K BOLO AP GAS Q NAHI DETE, BILL Q ZADIA DETE HO ?
WO KIYA JAWAB DEGA YE MERA KAAM THORI HAI
Initial enquiry starts from the first notice. Thats why F.B.R. found out the culprit is a Sugar Mafia.
Delayed tactics. Our style of working is absolutely poor and not result oriented. Result mean to provide auger to consumers at affordable price.

Dissolve this most corrupt organisation, it looks all members are deaf, dump and senseless people running this organisation. Kick them out and hire all new 2000 members from abroad from expert of tax field.
that’s why these are bogus buyers. not real. if they are not real then how can they give response to any notice?
Alhamdolillah
We are Muslim
That’s why we are corrupt
Sugar Mill owners should be hanged for creating the price cartel and artificial price hike.
Nationalise sugar mills and flour mills. End the game
These are Benami transactions. Notice was issued as per law on the basis of data provided by the sugar mills. Once it’s establish that it’s a benami transaction then action against the beneficial owner will be possible. At the time of issuance of notice FBR has only name and CNIC of the taxpayer. They are mostly not registered with the Tax Authority. Hence, it’s not possible to ascertain the capacity of the person. Sugar mills are not culprit as well cause they have sold the sugar to the intermediary agent. It is the agent who provided wrong data to the sugar mills vice versa. I hope you people have understood the dynamics and mechanism of business transaction.
