May 13, 2024 (MLN): To curb smuggling and tax evasion in Pakistan, the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has introduced track and trace systems to prevent smuggling of cement, tobacco, fertilizer, and sugar, as stated a post by the Information Ministry.

According to a report by Action and Counter Illicit Trade Alliance (ACT), Pakistan is losing trillions of rupees in taxes annually due to smuggling, tax evasion, counterfeiting and illegal trade.

The track and trace system will gradually be installed in other industries as well to bring them under government supervision.

These measures are aimed at curbing illegal trading activities, increasing revenue, transparency and increasing investor confidence.
