Lahore: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has decided to launch immediate action against non-filers and businesses under-reporting their sales as part of its ongoing administrative and legal reforms initiative.
The decision was taken during the 130th meeting of the authority, chaired by PRA Chairman Moazzam Iqbal Sipra. Officials reviewed the existing enforcement challenges and agreed to strengthen compliance measures across key sectors.
To enhance transparency in tax collection, the authority approved the sector-wise rollout of the Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (e-IMS). The system is designed to curb under-reporting by enabling real-time monitoring of taxable transactions.
In another move aimed at improving field operations, the PRA resolved that enforcement teams will wear uniforms while on duty, ensuring better identification and accountability during inspections.
The meeting also discussed proposals for a new service structure for PRA officers and officials to improve operational efficiency and career development within the organisation. Additionally, members reviewed recommendations for amendments to the Sales Tax on Services Act, with further deliberations expected in upcoming sessions.
The authority said the decisions reflect its commitment to strengthening compliance, modernising tax administration, and expanding the provincial tax base.
