Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has been recognized by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) as one of the country’s top compliant taxpayers for the fiscal year 2024–25. A high-level delegation from the Large Taxpayers Office (LTO), Islamabad, visited the Jazz Headquarters on Tuesday to present the recognition shield, acknowledging the company’s significant contributions to the national economy.
The award was presented by Zafar Iqbal Khan, Chief Commissioner Inland Revenue, LTO Islamabad, to Farrukh Khan, Chief Financial Officer, Jazz, in the presence of senior representatives from both organizations.
Speaking on the occasion, Farrukh Khan, Chief Financial Officer, Jazz, said: “This recognition by FBR is a proud moment for us and reinforces Jazz’s commitment to responsible corporate citizenship. As one of Pakistan’s largest taxpayers, we remain dedicated to fulfilling our obligations with transparency and consistency. Beyond compliance, our focus continues to be on driving innovation and delivering digital services that empower millions of Pakistanis, contributing to the nation’s socio-economic progress.”
This recognition underscores Jazz’s continued role as a key driver of Pakistan’s digital economy. Over the years, the company has not only remained among the nation’s largest taxpayers but has also invested over USD 11 billion in digital infrastructure and services to enable inclusive growth and sustainable development.
idiotic achievement.
Is Jazza the largest tax payer OR largest tax collector?
It is the end user who is actually paying the tax not the Jazz. Protect the consumer so that the get the equally good service for what they pay for. Btw, Pakistan has one of the forest internet speed in the world.
Does FBR know that Jazz in collaboration with PTA is engaged in unfair tariff practices and it is the consumer who suffers the most? I am 100% sure that if an impartial enquiry is conducted, many irregularities in Jazz’s accounts will surface. But who cares?
I don’t think this journalist know the meaning of impact and incidence of tax.
Impact was on Jazz and the final burden (incidence) was shared by the Jazz Consumers.
And by the way now we know what was the exact reason for overbilling to the Jazz consumers.
Who knows jazz still kept half of the tax in their pocket???
Jazz ne hamare tax k pese leta hy lekin service zero de rha hy na internet ki sahi sahulatcna hi network ki or kehta hy pakistan ka sab se acha network hy khak acha hy
