FBR seals restaurants in Islamabad over fraudulent receipts

Author: Agencies

The Regional Tax Office (RTO) Islamabad has sealed two prominent restaurants for issuing fake receipts, part of the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) ongoing effort to enhance tax compliance among Tier-1 retailers.

The closures occurred after a team from RTO Islamabad, led by the Deputy Commissioner, identified the inauthenticity of receipts using the Point of Sale (POS) tracking software. Each restaurant was fined 500,000 rupees as a penalty for their violations.

This enforcement action coincides with the launch of the POS Prize Scheme, which began on 25 October in Islamabad.

This initiative allows citizens to report fake receipts through the Tax Asaan app and receive cash rewards. Verified reports will result in penalties for the offending retailers, with the goal of curbing the culture of issuing false invoices.

The FBR’s measures are aimed at ensuring that taxes are properly collected and deposited into the national treasury, reinforcing the government’s commitment to tax compliance.
