FBR set to take action against officials over alleged corrupt practices

ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is all set to take action against officials alleged to have been involved in corrupt practices.

According to reports, the apex taxation agency would transfer some 100 senior officers to its Admin Pool in the wake of a list it prepared to this effect. FBR would also notify the reshuffling within two to three days.

The list includes names of officers currently reporting to FBR’s Inland Revenue Service in addition to more than 50 customs officers.

The report further stated that FBR had the list prepared before the budget, but had to wait till the budget exercise was over to notify the transfers. The organization had previously notified the transfers of grade-20 officers.
