The decision by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to instruct the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority and telecom operators to block over 500,000 SIM cards belonging to non-filers underscores the seriousness with which the government is tackling tax evasion.
Blocking mobile SIM cards and phones as a measure to enforce tax compliance is a bold move by the Federal Board of Revenue in Pakistan.
By targeting individuals who haven’t filed their tax returns, they’re sending a clear message about the importance of tax compliance. This action not only aims to increase tax revenue but also serves as a deterrent to those who might try to evade taxes. However, it’s essential to ensure that this measure is implemented fairly and doesn’t disproportionately affect vulnerable groups or those who may have legitimate reasons for not filing their taxes.
