ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Tuesday initiated a major administrative reshuffle, directing four Chief Commissioners of Inland Revenue (CCIRs) to report to its headquarters as part of broader efforts to strengthen tax administration.
In its latest notification, the FBR announced transfers and postings of around 30 Inland Revenue officers ranging from BS-18 to BS-21, signaling a significant restructuring at senior levels.
Among the key changes, Dr. Tauqeer Ahmad Memon has been transferred from his role as Chief Commissioner at the Regional Tax Office Sukkur and posted as Member at FBR Headquarters in Islamabad. Similarly, Abid Mehmood has been moved from the Regional Tax Office Abbottabad to assume duties as Member at the FBR headquarters.
In another important development, Faheem Mohammad has been appointed as Member (Audit/CRM) at FBR Headquarters after serving as Chief Commissioner at the Large Taxpayers Office Multan. Meanwhile, Sahibzada Abdul Mateen has also been directed to report to headquarters after his transfer from the Regional Tax Office Bahawalpur.
The reshuffle comes at a critical time when the FBR is striving to meet its revenue targets for the fiscal year 2025–26. With the final quarter underway, the tax authority is facing a significant shortfall in revenue collection, increasing pressure on officials to enhance enforcement and compliance measures.
Experts believe that such administrative changes are aimed at improving coordination, strengthening audit functions, and accelerating revenue mobilization efforts. The reorganization is expected to boost operational efficiency and help the FBR bridge the revenue gap before the fiscal year concludes on June 30, 2026.
The FBR has directed all officers to assume their new responsibilities immediately, emphasizing the urgency of improving tax collection performance in the remaining months.
