LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has stepped up enforcement operations across the province to curb tax evasion and ensure strict compliance with sales tax regulations.
As part of the ongoing drive, three outlets—including a well-known food chain—were sealed for failing to issue e-bills and for manipulating sales records.
In Lahore and Gujranwala, PRA teams have been deployed to closely monitor Point of Sale (POS) systems at various food outlets to ensure transparency and real-time reporting of sales. Enforcement actions were also taken against businesses involved in irregular sales reporting and other forms of tax non-compliance.
A PRA spokesperson said recoveries were made from establishments that had collected sales tax from customers but did not deposit the amount into the government treasury. Notices were also issued to wedding halls, marquees, and other businesses for failing to maintain proper sales records.
The PRA has urged the public to report complaints against businesses not issuing e-bills through the Sahulat Application.
