FBR document submission process highlighted
LAHORE: In a recent awareness lecture on withholding tax at the Lahore Tax Bar, Member Inland Revenue Muhammad Mohsin Virk shed light on the process of filing and pursuing cases before the Appellate Tribunal.
Virk emphasized the importance of following proper procedures when submitting documents to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
According to Virk, when documents go missing and cases are decided against taxpayers, they often argue for case restoration, claiming that the documents were submitted to the FBR. However, they fail to provide proof of submission in the form of a receipt.
He clarified that the only way to ensure proof of document submission is by getting the documents recorded in the FBR's record. He stated, 'If documents are submitted without proper recording, it becomes the taxpayer's responsibility to prove submission.' He stressed that once documents are properly recorded, it becomes the department's responsibility to safely keep them.
