KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has notified that annual en-bloc transfers and postings would not be a norm in FBR unless necessitated in the interest of revenue or reforms in the organization.

“There has been a tradition in FBR for en-bloc transfers and postings each financial year, especially at senior level as the beginning of each financial year. Henceforth, this tradition would not be a norm unless necessitated in the interest of revenue or reforms in the organization,” an Office Order said on Thursday.

FBR has advised that all the senior officers and their staff should concentrate on optimal collection of due taxes, facilitation of taxpayers, expansion of tax base and identifying economic activities and business units in their jurisdiction.

“We all work a team and shall continue to do so without affecting our ongoing efforts and efficiency,” it said.
