Karachi – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Saturday, January 31, 2026, presented its tax reform agenda to the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) during a high-level seminar.
The event, conducted under the guidance of FBR Chairman Rashid Mahmood Langrial and supervised by Member Taxpayers’ Services Wing (TPS) Madam Tehmina Aamer, aimed to update business leaders and stakeholders on structural and technological reforms being implemented to strengthen Pakistan’s tax system.
Secretary of the TPS Wing, Abdul Hameed Abro, along with Second Secretary (Media) Tariq Asad, delivered a detailed presentation highlighting key initiatives. These include Point of Sale (POS) Integration, Track & Trace System, Digital Invoicing, Faceless Customs, Cargo Tracking, Direct Port Delivery, Reward & Rating System, and the use of Video Analytics for production monitoring.
Abro noted that Video Analytics has already been implemented in the sugar and cement sectors and is now being extended to textiles. These technology-driven measures are designed to reduce human discretion, ensure real-time monitoring, enhance transparency, and improve accountability in FBR operations. Automation, AI integration, and faceless systems have also strengthened taxpayer confidence by promoting uniform application of tax laws and improving governance.
Senior FPCCI officials, including Senior Vice President Saqib Fayyaz, Vice Presidents Amaan Paracha and Asif Sakhi, and Tax Advisor Danish Saleem, attended the seminar. Representatives from various chambers and trade associations also joined via Zoom, actively participating in discussions and Q&A sessions.
The seminar concluded with FBR officers presenting souvenirs, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to transparency, stakeholder engagement, and modernization of revenue administration.
