ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has initiated a structured engagement process with the business community to improve tax administration, address operational challenges, and promote a more transparent trade environment. In this regard, FBR Chairman Rashid Mahmood Langrial visited the Large Taxpayers Office (LTO) Lahore and met with a delegation from the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).
Senior FBR officials and LCCI representatives attended the meeting, which focused on taxation matters, business facilitation, industrial concerns, and issues affecting the commercial sector.
The FBR Chairman emphasised the importance of regular communication with stakeholders and announced that similar meetings would be held monthly to ensure timely consideration of business-related concerns.
During the discussion, the LCCI delegation raised concerns about taxation procedures, digital invoicing, administrative responsiveness, industrial duties, and other operational matters. The delegation also appreciated FBR’s recent initiatives concerning areas such as real estate taxation, Super Tax, and advance tax measures.
