ISLAMABAD: As part of a reorganization to streamline operations and hasten digitalization, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has renamed the roles of top tax officers.
On Wednesday, the FBR sent out a notification about the modifications to member operations and policy that will enable more effective monitoring of tax compliance.
The ruling states that the member position for public relations will now be known as members for taxpayer services, while the member position for accounting will now be known as members for organizational audit. The purpose of this decision was to simplify senior members’ duties.
Additionally, it was determined that the member (IR-Policy), FBR, will receive reports from the director general of revenue analysis, and the member (Organisational Audit), will receive reports from the director general of internal audit (IR).
The line members were unaware of the performance of both DGs when they were reporting to the FBR chairman.
In a similar vein, the positions of member for digital initiatives and member for information technology were combined and renamed director general for information technology and digital transformation.
Member (IR-Operations), FBR, will henceforth receive reports from the DG (IT &DT).There have been reports that the member operation, which is in charge of collecting revenue, is not receiving data from member IT.
The member (IR-Operations) will exercise the powers and functions of the members (digital initiatives) and information technology in order to streamline the function.
