The recent approval of the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2024 has ushered in a new era of strict measures against non-filers in Pakistan. The bill significantly restricts the financial and commercial activities of individuals who have not filed their income tax returns. Key Restrictions for Non-Filers: Purchase Restrictions: Non-filers will face severe limitations on their ability to purchase property, vehicles, and other significant assets. Stricter checks will be implemented at the point of sale, with authorities verifying the tax compliance of the buyer before allowing the transaction to proceed. Non-filers may be entirely prohibited from purchasing certain assets. Investment Limitations: Non-filers will face restrictions on their ability to invest in various avenues, including shares, mutual funds, and other financial instruments. Bank Account Restrictions: Non-filers may be limited to basic bank accounts with restricted transaction limits, potentially hindering their financial activities. Focus on Eligibility: The bill introduces the concept of "eligible persons," which refers to individuals who have filed their income tax returns for the preceding year. Only eligible persons will be permitted to engage in major financial transactions. Rationale Behind the Measures: The government aims to increase tax compliance and broaden the tax base by imposing these restrictions on non-filers. This move is expected to encourage individuals to file their tax returns and contribute their fair share to the national exchequer. Next Steps: The implementation of these measures will require detailed guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) from the FBR. It is crucial to ensure that these measures are implemented fairly and effectively, while also minimizing any unintended consequences for businesses and individuals. #TaxationPk #TaxNews #TaxUpdates #TaxLaws

The Punjab government has announced stringent measures to enforce compliance with banking regulations in property transactions. A penalty of 5% will now be imposed on immovable property purchases made through non-banking transactions within Punjab, as stipulated under the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. This decision stems from concerns regarding the consistent application of penalties outlined in the law. The Board of Revenue Punjab has issued a formal directive to ensure compliance, addressing the Registrar Cooperative Societies Punjab, the Director General of Punjab Land Records Authority, district registrars, and deputy commissioners across the province. Under Section 75A of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, a 5% penalty is applicable when a property with a fair market value exceeding five million rupees is purchased through non-banking channels. Similarly, this penalty applies to the purchase of other assets valued above one million rupees when non-banking transactions are used. In a pre-Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting chaired by a Senior Member of the Board of Revenue Punjab, concerns were raised about the lack of compliance with these provisions. The meeting reviewed the progress of enforcement and found that withholding agents, including sub-registrars, assistant directors of Land Records, and transferring officers, had failed to collect penalties on non-banking transactions. This non-compliance prompted the authorities to issue firm directives. The Board of Revenue’s letter emphasized that strict instructions have been circulated to all relevant officers, including sub-registrars, assistant directors of Land Records, and attesting officers, to collect the mandated penalties. It also clarified that any failure to enforce this provision would hold the respective transferring or attesting officers accountable. This enforcement measure aims to enhance transparency, ensure adherence to financial regulations, and encourage the use of banking channels for high-value transactions. By penalizing non-banking transactions in property purchases, the Punjab government seeks to strengthen its revenue collection mechanisms and curb potential irregularities in the real estate sector. #TaxationPk #TaxNews #FBR #TaxTraps #FinesandPenalties #Punjab
