ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Wednesday said a modern tax administration should focus not only on revenue collection but also on taxpayer facilitation, transparency and building public trust.
Speaking to senior officials at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) headquarters, the minister appreciated their efforts in achieving the revised revenue collection target for FY26, saying tax reforms must be accompanied by improved taxpayer services and greater institutional credibility.
The FBR collected Rs13.010 trillion in FY26 against the revised target of Rs12.983tr, recording an 11pc increase over the Rs11.745tr generated in FY25.
Aurangzeb stressed the need to make tax compliance easier through technology-driven solutions, greater automation, improved taxpayer services, and reduced opportunities for discretion and corruption.
