FBR chairman Rashid Mahmood Langrial to assess tax collection performance and enforcement measures during key June visit.
Rashid Mahmood Langrial, Chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), is scheduled to visit Karachi on June 1, 2026, to review tax collection performance and enforcement efforts during the final month of fiscal year 2025-26.
According to sources, the visit will focus on assessing progress toward annual revenue targets and evaluating measures needed to maximize tax collection before the fiscal year concludes on June 30.
During meetings with senior tax officials, the FBR chairman is expected to discuss strategies aimed at improving revenue collection and strengthening enforcement against tax defaulters.
Sources said the tax authority may intensify recovery efforts, including action against taxpayers with outstanding liabilities through measures such as freezing bank accounts and accelerating audits of large taxpayers to identify and recover unpaid taxes.
Langrial is expected to hold detailed discussions with chief commissioners of the Large Taxpayers Office (LTO), Medium Tax Office (MTO), Corporate Tax Office (CTO), and Regional Tax Offices (RTO-I and RTO-II) during meetings at LTO Karachi.
In addition to inland revenue matters, the chairman will review customs-related revenue performance during meetings at Custom House Karachi.
The customs review will involve senior officials, including the Chief Collector Hyderabad and heads of major collectorates responsible for appraisement, exports and airport operations.
The visit comes at a critical stage as the FBR seeks to meet its annual revenue target amid fiscal pressures and rising government expenditure requirements.
Langrial is also expected to interact with young officers of the Inland Revenue Service (IRS) and Pakistan Customs, emphasizing professionalism, performance and efficiency within the country’s tax administration.
Karachi, Pakistan’s largest commercial and financial center, contributes a substantial share of national tax revenues, making the city’s collection performance a key factor in achieving the FBR’s year-end revenue objectives.
