As part of FBR’s drive to bring Tier-1 Retailers/Restaurants under the tax net through the POS Invoicing system and after the introduction of the POS Prize Scheme, the Regional Tax Office, Islamabad, sealed two prominent restaurants in Islamabad on account of issuing fake invoices/receipts.
After determining the inauthenticity of the reported receipts through POS tracking software under an already devised and announced procedure, a team of RTO Islamabad led by the Deputy Commissioner sealed two restaurants in Blue Area and Super Market and also imposed a penalty of Rs. 0.5 Million upon each of these restaurants.
It is pointed out that FBR launched the Point of Sales Prize Scheme on 25 October. In the first phase, the Scheme was introduced in Islamabad for Tier-1 restaurants. It will then be extended to all Tier retailers and across the entire country from next month. Under the Scheme, citizens/consumers who report fake receipts through the Tax Asaan APP to FBR will get varying cash rewards.
After verifying the fake receipts using a devised procedure, FBR will transfer the cash prizes directly into the winners’ bank accounts. The reported Tier-1 Retailers/Restaurants will then be sealed for issuing fake receipts.
This important initiative aims to discourage the fake invoices culture by ensuring that the due taxes are deposited in the national exchequer. FBR is committed to ensuring tax compliance through effective enforcement of tax regulations.
totally useless when you didn’t have courage to mention resturants Name
It’s not about courage brother. It’s about making money for not mentioning their names. Who has more courage than media?
Why did you hide their names and not tell us?
What about those restaurants who refuse cashless payments and totally deals in cash? Is there any POS enforcement plan for such restaurants ?
Governement should fix prices of all daily used consumable goods and they should be charged through the POS system in order to avoid over pricing. This will help to retain the prices same across the country by adjusting some items transportation costs from far off places.
We are requested to the FBR authority that share the name these resturant to public.

Up till what time this not ‘mentioning name’ culture will continue to hide culprits?
WHY ARE YOU HIDING THEIR NAME???? YOU NEED TO SHARE THEIR NAME WITH US, AT LEAST PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPEING
There are no popular or unpopular restaurants. All restaurants have names. Mention the names or don’t publish a vague story.
