June 26, 2021

Minister for Finance Shaukat Tarin has said the government has set 5.8 trillion revenue targets for coming year 2021-22, which is a sign of the government's aggressive economic policy.

Talking on the fiscal policies in senate session, he said Institutional reforms and automation in the FBR will eliminate human intervention so that the process of achieving the annual revenue target can be made transparent.

Shaukat Tarin said that there would be no harassment for new tax filers but some measure would be taken by the government and only third parties would have mandate to negotiate with them to settle the tax issues.

The Minister said the government collected 4.1 trillion rupees revenues in the first 11 months and hoped that by the end of current fiscal year (2020-21), the revenue collection would increase up to 4.7 trillion.
