A Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) probe has intensified against 108 companies suspected of evading taxes on imports exceeding Rs. 1.12 trillion through Tribal and Special Administrative Tribal Areas (FATA) and PATA exemptions. The investigation revealed that these companies imported commodities such as cooking oil, ghee, steel, textiles, and tea, which were then allegedly transported to markets in Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan, circumventing the intended use within designated tribal regions.
The FIA has gathered substantial evidence and interviewed over 60 companies, with 48 now receiving new notices. This inquiry focuses on the potential misuse of tax exemptions and the mismanagement of goods imported under these exemptions, which should have remained within the designated tribal areas.
