FBR set to achieve Rs6.1trn revised tax collection target
One of the key features of this outstanding performance by FBR is reflected in the significant increase in direct taxes which has registered growth of 32% over the last year. This is in line with the policy of the incumbent government to enforce taxation on income earned thereby reduce indirect incidence of taxation.
Furthermore, the net collection from Income Tax during the year is Rs. 2278 billion against Rs. 1731 billion last year whereas the sales tax of Rs. 2525 billion has been collected this year against Rs. 1983 billion last year. The net collection from Customs Duty is Rs. 1000 billion this year against Rs. 747 billion last year while the collection from Federal Excise Duty is Rs. 322 billion this year against Rs. 284 billion last year.
Similarly, the net collection of Rs. 1,741 billion during the 4th Quarter of current financial year against Rs. 1,351 billion collected in 4th Quarter last year, represents an increase of 31.7% despite many challenges. The net collection for the month of June, 2022 is Rs. 763 billion representing an increase of 28.9% over Rs. 580 billion collected in June, 2021.
