Prime Minister Imran Khan has invited top taxpayers to acknowledge their role in national tax collection and promote voluntary compliance and increase in revenue collection. The ceremony would be held at the PM Secretariat today (Wednesday). It is expected that around 200 top taxpayers and large taxpaying companies would be awarded appreciation certificates.

The initiative includes meetings with taxpayers from all of the three categories, including individuals, association of persons (AOPs) and companies. The primary motive of the meeting is to appreciate the services of taxpayers and promote a tax culture in the country so that the country can improve its tax revenues.

The Prime Minister is also expected to take recommendations from the taxpayers regarding policymaking for better tax collection and broadening the tax base.

Earlier, sources said, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) submitted a list of top taxpayers for the year 2018 after which invitations were sent.

Besides banking companies, the top tax paying companies include the oil and gas sector companies like Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) and large banks. Other top taxpaying companies belong to auto sector, cellular companies and telecom sector, besides big taxpaying companies from other sectors.
