The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has announced a comprehensive overhaul of Pakistan’s income‑tax framework. The new measures introduce faceless audits, digital banking monitoring, and a tax on social‑media activity.
Faceless audits will allow the FBR to review taxpayers’ records without the need for in‑person inspections, aiming to increase efficiency and reduce the administrative burden on both the government and taxpayers.
The digital banking monitor component requires banks to provide the FBR with real‑time data on transactions, enabling the agency to track income and detect potential tax evasion more effectively.
In addition, the FBR has introduced a tax on social‑media platforms, targeting revenue generated through online advertising and other monetization methods on sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
These changes are part of the FBR’s broader effort to modernize tax administration and improve compliance across the country.
For more information, the FBR has issued a detailed briefing document outlining the implementation timeline and compliance requirements for businesses and individuals.
