Lahore Tax Bar Association (LTBA) on Monday demanded of the Federal Finance Minister and Chairman Federal Board of Revenue to remove complexities in the PRAL system (Pakistan Revenue Automation Pvt Ltd) as it is creating multiple problems for tax payers.
The demand was raised at a meeting of Lahore Tax Bar Association held here on Monday. The meeting was presided over by the President LTBA Qari Habibur Rehman Zuberi and also attended by Secretary LTBA Ali Ahsan Rana, Zahid Pervaiz, Tufail Asghar, Khurram Shahbaz, Zulfiqar Ahmad and Anis Anjum among others.
The LTBA President said the government would not be able to meet revenue target for the year if the PRAL system was not made taxpayer friendly and the lacunae in it were not removed immediately. The House on the occasion adopted a resolution calling for immediate changes in the PRAL system that has put the tax payers in great troubles. The House also expressed its dismay over the non-functioning of the system in recent past.
The House also called for improvement in the Chief Revenue Office (CRO) Islamabad to enable it to help expansion in the tax net instead of creating undue hurdles. The House also demanded of the FBR to grant permission for submission of Wealth Statement as Short Document besides allowing submission of manual tax returns as there are a large number of businessmen who are unable to use online system. The LTBA President said the Association has already forwarded a number of complaints to the concerned authorities but to no avail. He said the Chairman FBR should take stock of the whole situation to ensure smooth filing of tax returns.
