FBR splits sales tax and income tax departments in reshuffle
The tax board has created a new Member post for sales tax and federal excise, while the income tax post remains unnotified and separate commissioners are due from January 2027.
The FBR has separated sales tax and federal excise duty (FED) work from the income tax department.
54 Inland Revenue officials were posted to the new Member, Sales Tax & FED (Technical) post in Islamabad.
From January 2027, taxpayers will deal with separate Commissioners of Sales Tax and Income Tax.
At the time of reporting, the income tax Member post had not been notified, and tax experts have asked for clarification.
