ISLAMABAD, AUGUST 10: On Saturday, the appointment of the new FBR chairman disregarded the opinions of several top Federal Bureau of Revenue personnel.
Currently, over thirty officers—six at headquarters and 24 in the field—are reportedly more senior than the recently appointed chairman, according to sources.
It also turned out that top officials were not happy with the action, and the member customs operations had gone on vacation.
It was stated that the FBR did not strictly adhere to the seniority system, in contrast to other departments.
In just 11 months, the FBR would need to collect Rs 12,300 billion, and a new board would be established specifically for this reason. If the income goal is not reached for a period of two months, there will be an impact on the total goal.
It was also said that the incoming chairman will have to deal with a number of issues, such as digitalization, tracking and system, fulfilling the FBR objective, and expanding the tax base.
