LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has shortlisted a number of restaurants to broaden its network of Restaurant Invoice Monitoring System in Lahore and Faisalabad.
Sources told Customs Today that the PRA checked dozens of restaurants in posh localities of Lahore which were providing expensive food to the citizens but were not registered for sales tax.
These restaurants will increase the revenues of the authority in coming days as it has already increased in past two years.
It is pertinent to mention here that PRA has increased its revenues up to 35 percent in first eight months of the fiscal year of 2016-17 as compared to the last year.
Restaurant invoice monitoring system will be installed in all restaurants that are providing services in posh areas of Lahore Faisalabad and other big cities of the province.
Meanwhile PRA has also decided to start crackdown against restaurants that are failed to submit their taxes despite receiving notices. PRA has sealed many restaurants as well in recent times.
