FBR allowed to taxpayers to file settlement application for agreed assessment.
The Federal Board of Revenue has issued a statement saying that the government has added a new section 122D to the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 through the Finance Act 2020. Under which taxpayers can file a settlement application for tax assessment. Recently, the FBR has directed all sub-offices to form oversight committees under the law. He can submit the application for tax assessment online to the Oversight Committee.
The Committee will decide within 30 days of filing the application. There is a strong possibility that a large number of taxpayers with selected cases for scrutiny will benefit from this facility. The move will reduce the unnecessary burden on the FBR, which is being spent on unnecessary legal matters, and will provide immediate relief to taxpayers.
