FBR Issues Final Warning to Non-filers: Utility Services Disconnection Imminent

Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is intensifying its efforts to ensure tax compliance, as reported on January 10. Non-filers are receiving final notifications, emphasizing the impending disconnection of utility services and mobile SIM cards.

One notice explicitly states, "You were issued notice under section 114B to file the return, non-compliance results in disconnection of electricity, gas & mobile connections," according to the disclosed information. Immediate submission of the return is strongly urged. The FBR is gearing up to implement strict measures against non-filers, starting with the suspension of mobile SIM cards and phones in the initial phase. The FBR is expected to formalize this action through the issuance of the Income Tax General order within the current month.

Furthermore, the FBR is developing a strategy to disconnect electricity and gas services for non-filers, although comprehensive data on the electricity connections of such individuals is currently unavailable. A senior FBR official, when approached for comments, confirmed that the suspension of mobile phones for non-filers is slated for implementation within the current month, without specifying a date. This move underscores the FBR’s commitment to ensuring tax compliance and discouraging non-filing practices.
