Introduction

Digital Directory for Withholding Agents is a management information system (MIS) built to monitor real-time tax collection received under various sections of withholding tax. The system has capability to analyze current withholding data with historical withholding collections. It enables FBR to broaden the withholding tax regime by enforcing the withholding agents to compliance with the tax laws. FBR can benefit from this system by increasing revenue collections from withholding tax regime, and reducing the tax evasion pertaining to non-compliant withholding agents.
