The revenue board also warned that it has identified citizens who have not paid their returns despite having taxable income adding that individuals with higher expenses but lower incomes have also been identified.

“The FBR database contains details of the expenses and income of all such individuals,” it said.

“All such people one last chance” to file their tax returns according to their correct income or they will be prosecuted as per the law” FBR added.
