Lahore: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has intensified its enforcement campaign against tax defaulters across the province. During operations conducted in Lahore and other cities, three premises, including a hotel, were sealed for tax non-compliance.
PRA spokesperson told media here Friday that the action was taken after tax evasion was established and repeated violations of tax laws were detected. Additionally, dozens of food outlets and aesthetic clinics were issued notices for failing to use Point of Sale (POS) machines.
The spokesperson stated that failure to deposit taxes collected from the public into the government treasury in a timely manner constitutes a violation of the law.
He further emphasized that non-use of POS machines facilitates the concealment of sales records and contributes to tax fraud. To ensure transparency in tax collection through digital monitoring, the implementation and use of POS machines is mandatory across the province.
The public has also been advised to obtain only PRA-verified receipts bearing the official QR code after making payments to ensure that their transactions are properly recorded and verified.
