ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Wednesday renewed his call for a simplified tax return form for salaried taxpayers, saying there was “no logic” behind the lengthy and cumbersome process currently applied to one of the country’s most documented segments.

The minister made the remarks at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) headquarters during the launch of a mobile application for the Fixed Tax Asaan Scheme, designed to enable small traders and shopkeepers to register and file their returns digitally.
