According to sources, the FBR has prepared a plan to identify and pursue individuals who are not filing tax returns despite appearing financially well-off through their social media activity.

The notices will require recipients to provide information regarding their income, assets, properties and sources of funds. The aim is to determine whether their declared lifestyle matches their tax records.

Sources said the FBR has collected extensive data on individuals showcasing wealth on social media, with assistance from NADRA in identifying and obtaining information about them.

Officials said that in the first phase, affected individuals will be allowed to regularise their tax affairs and submit tax returns.

The individuals concerned will be directed to file their tax returns and provide financial details to the FBR by September 30.

According to the report, legal action may be taken against those who fail to submit returns within the specified period or do not provide satisfactory responses.

The move is part of the FBR’s efforts to expand the tax base and bring financially stable individuals into the tax system who are not currently reflected in tax records.
