KARACHI: The Regional Tax Office-II has successfully completed scrutiny of 44 bank accounts of persons/companies who are allegedly involved in tax fraud.
Sources told Customs Today that RTO-II recovered Rs 5.5 million from these accounts two months ago. Sources further revealed that now authorities are gearing up efforts to recover more amounts from these accounts, as NADRA provided full data of these accounts and persons and companies who are operating these bank accounts.
Sources said that in the past, Western Union allegedly claimed refund of sales tax from the Federal Board of Revenue on forged documents. The cheques of sales tax refund were deposited in four different accounts of Askari Bank and money was withdrawn.
