He hoped that FBR will continue to maximize revenue collection in the next two months to meet the upward revised target fixed for the current financial year, 2021-2022.

He also expressed his desire that Team FBR should explore all avenues of tax compliance and, thus, make all-out efforts to harness true revenue potential across Pakistan. Minister for Finance assured Chairman FBR of his total support in the ongoing tax collection drive in the country.

The Minister appreciated various digital innovative measures adopted by Pakistan Customs which include Clearance in the Sky. He also commended the digitalization drive of FBR in order to automate business processes, ensure ease of doing business, and thereby facilitate taxpayers.
