It's not the kind of thing the prime minister expects to happen in his own backyard. That is why he has declared that some bold steps are being taken to end corruption within the country's tax machinery - FBR. According to him, the FBR needs reforms to overcome trust deficit of the taxpayers, since around Rs 700 billion of corruption per year had been witnessed in the FBR. The figure of Rs 700 billion corruption in the FBR was pointed out by the then Finance Minister Shaukat Tareen in 2013. It is therefore heartening to note that he has taken a deeper look at FBR before initiating any action elsewhere.
