The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued a list of 297 unregistered retailers (Tier-1), who are required to be integrated with the FBR’s Point of Sale (PoS) system.
In this connection, the FBR has issued a sales tax general order (STGO) 16 of 2022, here on Friday.
According to the FBR, these 297 identified retailers are still operating out of the documented regime and not depositing collected sales tax from consumers into the national kitty.
Last month, the FBR had issued a list of 1,358 big retailers (Tier-1), which are required to be integrated with the FBR’s PoS system and were denied 60 percent input tax credit in case of non-integration.
The number of big retailers (Tier-1) that are still not integrated with the PoS system has drastically decreased from 1,358 to 297 retailers.
The board has decided to raise sales tax demand against these big retailers (Tier-1), who are still not integrated with the FBR’s PoS system by the deadline of May 10, 2022.
