FAISALABAD:
Multiple steps were taken to enable Punjab Excise, Taxation and Narcotics Control Department for generating additional Rs2 billion during the current financial year.
This was stated by the department’s Director General Saleha Saeed while speaking to the media at Excise office on Wednesday.
She added, “The focus of Excise department was to enhance tax net. Technological advancement has enabled the department to collect and maintain accurate record and potential of recovery.”
Induction of new technology would completely weed out the exploitation by minimising contact between taxpayers and tax collector, she further said. “It will also help enhance tax net through reliable data.”
