The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has decided not to hold the income tax fair this year, in view of risks of corona infections in any public gathering.
The NBR usually holds the week-long tax fair in November ahead of the Tax Day that falls on November 30, to facilitate individual taxpayers.
Instead of the tax fair, officials say, the NBR would observe a tax week for the taxpayers’ return submission.
Since its inception, the income tax fair is gaining popularity as it gives an opportunity to people to submit income tax returns at the quickest possible time without the hassle of visiting tax offices, said an NBR senior official.
“The growing number of taxpayers and income tax-related service-takers show that people are always interested in paying taxes, given a conducive atmosphere,” he said.
