In a bid to facilitate taxpayers, teams of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority visited premises of businesses associated with the services sector in Peshawar to create awareness and provide on-spot registration facility to businessmen.
On the directives of KPRA Director General Fayyaz Ali Shah,
four teams of the authority visited businesses centers and markets located on
Ring Road, Dalazak Road, GT Road and in Charsadda.
The teams set up mobile registration centres where on-spot
registration facility was provided to business owners, who had not already
registered themselves with the authority.
KPRA officials held meetings with representatives of beauty
parlours, property and car dealers’ associations and briefed them on sales tax
on services. The associations showed confidence in KPRA and vowed to register
businesses of each member of the associations after consultation.
The week long registration drive will continue until Friday
evening in Peshawar. KPRA registration teams will visit each and every market
and business centre of the city to create awareness regarding taxation among
the masses.
The Registration Week will be taken to the southern
districts in the coming week and the drive will continue till April 3.
It aims to create awareness among the masses to develop tax
culture in the province and to strengthen the revenue base of the government
for providing better services to the people.
“We consider the taxpayers as our stakeholders and
facilitating them is the aim of this drive,” Shah said. He urged the
people associated with services sector to benefit from the drive and get their
businesses registered with KPRA to strengthen and develop the province.
“The government collects their tax money to provide
them better services and finance development projects in the province,”
the KPRA DG added.
