LAHORE: Representatives of the four provincial revenue collection authorities dealing with the sales tax on services agreed on Friday to resolve the issues of double taxation, input verification and tax adjustments.
The officials discussed the ways to improve tax administration and maximise the provincial sales tax collection in a meeting at the headquarters of the Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA).
Chairpersons of the four provincial tax collection bodies will attend the next meeting, which will take place on March 6.
An official told Dawn that the meeting participants decided to focus on taxpayers’ facilitation, data sharing and conflict resolution.
He said the issue of double taxation is hurting the business community while a lack of coordination among the four bodies is depriving the provincial kitties of revenues.
The participants also shared with each other the facts and figures about those taxpayers that operate across the country and mislead tax collectors.
