Islamabad, August 1, 2025 – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Friday announced a massive reshuffling of officers belonging to the Inland Revenue Service (IRS), transferring a total of 232 officers serving in BS-17 and BS-18.
According to a notification issued by the FBR, these transfers involve officers holding key ranks such as Additional Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, and Assistant Commissioners of IRS. These positions are central to the revenue administration system, playing a crucial role in audit, enforcement, and compliance monitoring, which directly impacts revenue generation.
The FBR stated that the reshuffle was part of its administrative measures at the start of the new fiscal year. It aims to enhance the overall performance of the IRS and align operational strategies with the evolving tax landscape. By reallocating experienced officers, the FBR hopes to streamline tax collection, improve audit coverage, and ensure that revenue targets for the fiscal year 2025–26 are met efficiently.
The FBR has emphasized the urgency of the matter, directing all transferred IRS officers to assume their new charges by the next working day without delay. This quick transition is intended to prevent disruption in tax administration and enforcement duties.
This development comes in the backdrop of the FBR’s ongoing efforts to expand the tax base and improve efficiency within the IRS. With this large-scale reshuffle, the FBR reiterates its commitment to strengthening the institutional capacity of the IRS and achieving ambitious revenue collection goals.
