The government is likely to block bank accounts of non-filers and has also decided to fix the amount of sales tax on the import of mobile phones, replacing 18 percent sales tax under the amended Finance Bill 2024.
Sources told ProPakistani that the proposal to freeze bank accounts of non-filers was part of the original Finance Bill 2024, but the same was not passed.
In cases where non-filers are not responding to notices, the government may consider a proposal to block bank accounts of non-filers till they appear on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL).
Non-filers will still be able to deposit money in banks, but they will not be able to withdraw it until they become filers and their names appear on the ATL.
If the proposal becomes part of the amended Finance Bill 2024, the FBR will issue an income tax general order (ITGO) listing the names of non-filers to block their bank accounts.
The amended Finance Bill 2024 will also replace the 18 percent sales tax on the import of mobile phones with a fixed amount of sales tax depending on the brands of the imported mobile phones.

Being tax payer and filer, I have been listed as non filer in FBR fault and being refused correction, with all my bank charges and WHT avenues doubled in deductions. There is no respite because high ups of FBR are being rapidly transfered, leaving nobody to sign the pilled up routine cases for approval.
Sir jee aap Filer list ho saktey hain ATL main, agar aap khud kar saktey hain to 1000 Rs FBR ko pay kareyn wo aap ko active list main add kardey ga payment receive hotay hi
