In the category of non-notified individuals, individuals who have not declared any one or more years in the past five years are required to comply with the law. "Otherwise, non-filed people can submit reports and financial statements for the past 10 years," the official added.The official said that the FBR will initiate an audit of individuals who have declared investments. "If there is a personal application, FBR will get a statement based on the oath," the official added.
In the past, FBR and other investigative agencies contacted Dubai authorities to provide details of Pakistani investment in real estate, but the Dubai authorities kept rejecting this information. However, Dubai authorities agreed to share specific information with personal details.
The official said that the FBR will now be able to avoid double taxation and obtain specific information from Dubai authorities.
According to the FBR's website, Pakistan has so far signed bilateral tax treaties with at least 64 countries. In addition, the country has signed a series of multilateral agreements to increase the efficiency of the tax system.
The government has stepped up its efforts to establish a national plan of action to ensure the transparency of taxation and economic affairs and become a member of the Global Reform Forum. The Open Government Partnership Program (OGP) is a group of 64 countries that implements open government reforms around the world.
Pakistan has reached the threshold of OGP membership and reached 15 out of 16 criteria. In 2016, the country signed the convention and became a signatory of the OECD Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Taxation. The convention, signed by more than 80 countries, will promote cooperation in national tax laws and provide administrative cooperation among member states to combat tax evasion.
