Senate committee questions FBR over Rs 1,120 bn imports, demands records within two days Islamabad, Pakistan · 2026-11-02 15:30
A Senate Sub-Committee on Interior and Anti-Narcotics raised serious concern about the alleged misuse of the FATA/PATA tax exemption scheme and delays in recovering billions of rupees in outstanding taxes. It also said several companies have failed to provide required records.
FATA and PATA were Pakistan's former tribal areas, which enjoyed special tax exemptions until they were merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in 2018 and the exemptions began to be phased out.
