FBR has assured that there will be no additional taxes on small cars, bringing relief to buyers looking for affordable vehicles. Chairman FBR Rashid Mahmood Langrial shared this update while speaking to lawmakers during a recent meeting.
The discussion focused on tax policies, including vehicle taxation, digital invoicing, and steps to prevent tax evasion.
While some concerns were raised about taxation in other sectors, the chairman made it clear that buyers of cars up to 800cc would not face any new tax burdens. This move is expected to encourage sales in the small car segment, benefiting both consumers and the local automobile industry.
Apart from vehicle taxation, FBR is working on implementing a digital invoicing system for businesses to improve tax compliance.
The chairman also revealed that a new system has been developed to track tax evasion by analyzing turnover data. However, he assured that this would not result in unnecessary disruptions to transactions.
During the session, the committee also debated restrictions on stock market investments, particularly questioning how even students were able to invest. Another key point of discussion was stricter requirements for property buyers to declare their assets.
The meeting ended with a focus on future tax reforms and the role of third-party auditors in boosting revenue collection. However, for small car buyers, the biggest takeaway was the confirmation that their vehicles would remain free from any additional tax increases.
