Lahore: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) recorded PKR 66.41 billion in tax revenue during the first quarter (Q1) of the fiscal year 2025\u201326, reflecting a 28% increase from PKR 51.98 billion collected in the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the new tax reforms, the PRA has introduced a simplified online registration system to facilitate the business community. Service providers are now required to link their businesses with the E-IMS system and submit monthly sales tax returns through the digital platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spokesperson added that businesses failing to register by the end of the month will face penalties and legal action, as the authority seeks to improve transparency and documentation in the provincial economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing registration campaign, the PRA said, is expected to further enhance revenue collection, broaden the tax net, and promote formalisation of Punjab\u2019s service sector in the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
