There are media reports that claim that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has directed its field formations to ensure that businessmen who availed Income Tax Amnesty Scheme and completed all codal formalities are not harassed by taxmen.

No doubt, this is a good step. If taxmen become tax-payer-friendly, then taxes will automatically come to the kitty. Fear of harassment needs to be erased from the minds of taxpayers. FBR must continue to ease concerns that taxmen harass taxpayers.
