Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is preparing a new initiative to enhance tax compliance among shopkeepers and small traders. The scheme aims to encourage greater documentation of economic activities, broaden the tax base, and simplify compliance procedures for small businesses. Officials state that the program will support transparency, reduce informal trade, and promote fair taxation. Analysts believe the initiative could strengthen government revenue collection, improve economic governance, and create a more accountable business environment. Will this program increase formalization and trust among small-scale retailers across Pakistan?
