Islamabad, Pakistan: The Regional Tax Office (RTO) Islamabad has taken decisive action against two prominent restaurants in the capital for issuing fake receipts. Following consumer complaints and subsequent verification, the restaurants were found to be issuing counterfeit invoices, evading compliance with the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) Point of Sale (POS) invoicing system.
In response, a team from RTO Islamabad, led by the Deputy Commissioner, sealed the restaurants and their subsidiary branches. Additionally, a total penalty of Rs. 1 million was imposed on the violators.
This crackdown is part of FBR’s broader effort to integrate Tier-1 retailers and restaurants into the formal tax net, ensuring transparency and adherence to tax regulations. The FBR reiterated its commitment to eliminating the issuance of fake invoices and promoting tax compliance through robust enforcement.
