According to the FBR’s instructions to the field formations on Monday, the Eid holidays will fall in the closing days of June 2023 due to which maximum of the revenues have to be collected before the Eid holidays because the businesses may not deposit duty and taxes in government exchequer in the closing days of June 2023.
