      <title>FBR lowers FY25 tax collection target after IMF approval</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330371509/fbr-lowers-fy25-tax-collection-target-after-imf-approval</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has slightly lowered its annual tax collection target for the fiscal year 2024-25, from Rs12.97 trillion to Rs12.913 trillion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This revised target was agreed upon between the FBR and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after the FBR rationalized its expenditures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The IMF has stipulated that if the agreed quarterly revenue targets are not met, additional revenue measures will be implemented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The FBR has set a tax collection target of Rs2.642 trillion for the July-September quarter of FY25, with monthly targets of Rs656 billion for July, Rs898 billion for August, and Rs1.098 trillion for September.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the lower tax target, the overall fiscal deficit and primary surplus targets for the current fiscal year remain unchanged.&lt;/p&gt;
