The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has not received a single penny from the traders registered under the Tajir Dost Scheme against a projection of Rs. 50 billion in 2024-25.
The FBR is expecting the first installment by August 15, 2024, from 85,000 traders registered under the Tajir Dost Scheme.
The representative of traders said that at present the focus of the new scheme is to maximize the registration of small traders and shopkeepers across the country.
The FBR has also started the process of issuing notices to the traders for tax payments under the enforcement drive, But the issue of tax payment could only be resolved through an awareness campaign on the national level, he said.
The FBR has assured the business community that a simple income tax return form for traders in Urdu language would be issued during the current week, he added.

Their employees making money these days collecting data to file return and charge them 5000 to 10000 each. FBR should perform sting operation on their own employees.
its ok traders dont need to give tax. salaried employees are there to cover their tax as well unfortunately.
If FBR use danda, they would get Rs. 0, but if they design a policy by taking the traders into confidence, then they may get the required revenue and that too, not in a year, but gradually.
The first priority is to remove the Corrupt elements in FBR.

If a person is ignorant that is his fault.even traders childs know how to sell worth rs 100 entity to 200 to customer.(chuna lgana)
They knows every trick on fingertips.uneducated peoples are themself at fault.why they did’t get education.
It’s very easy to loot salary person but business person’s are very smart and also they have good friends in FBR
