The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) chairman, Rashid Langrial, has stated that tax collection services will not be outsourced to private companies, according to sources speaking to ProPakistani. Additionally, an FBR spokesperson has refuted reports suggesting the government is contemplating outsourcing Inland Revenue or Customs offices, labeling such claims as unfounded.
The spokesperson clarified that no tender has been issued, either domestic or international, for the outsourcing of any FBR field office. They further explained that the FBR is currently undertaking a streamlined process of reforms and organizational adjustments, and will inform the media once definitive decisions are reached. Nonetheless, discussions regarding the outsourcing of Inland Revenue and Customs offices were reportedly held during a meeting several days ago, as part of the FBR’s reform strategy.
These proposals, submitted by consultants from overseas firms, were aimed at enhancing revenue generation. However, the proposal has been temporarily suspended, according to additional sources.
