Withholding Taxes collected by Federal Board of
Revenue are significant contributors to the exchequer. The collection is
on the rise over the years. Nonetheless, visible gaps have been observed
between the actual collection of Withholding Taxes and their true
potential in the economy. One of the Study Groups has quite recently
identified that 110 % gap exist in collection from Salary & Wages alone.
In order to streamline the management for exploiting the true potential
of Withholding Taxes, the Director General (Withholding Taxes) is
mandated with the task of spearheading the task of streamlining the
Withholding Taxes.
The DG (Withholding Taxes) has laid a strong foundation that I am sure
will help bridge the yawning gap in revenue collection. |

In view of the falling revenue syndromes and apparent
difficulty in meeting the ever-increasing budgetary targets, it is
imperative to explore the possible avenues for bringing in the extra
revenues for the Government. Withholding taxes were unanimously
considered the most potential source. In order to have a unified
approach in streamlining this source of revenues, the Director General (WHT)
has been established.
I am confident that the guidelines contained herein and those in the
linked pages will be extremely helpful to all the stakeholders, to
explore the potential avenues and identify the loopholes for improving
the management of Withholding Taxes thereby increasing the overall
collection of the FBR. |

The revenue collection authorities throughout the
world are focusing on facilitation of taxpayers as a extended service.
The Information Technology has become a tool and medicine of such
service. The importance of usage of Information Technology has been
recognized by the Directorate General (WHT). This web page contains all
the relevant provisions of law, rules, regulations, guidelines etc. that
I expect to benefit the field officers in monitoring of WHAs in
discharging their legal obligations. |
