ISLAMABAD, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 9th Sep, 2026) The Chairman, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Rashid Mahmood Langrial met with a delegation of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) in Karachi today as part of his monthly visit to the city.
The delegation was led by Saquib Fayyaz Magoon, and included senior office bearers and business leaders, while the Chairman was accompanied by Member Inland Revenue (Operations), Member Customs (Operations), and senior officers of FBR.
The meeting was held as a follow-up to the earlier meeting to review the progress made on various matters discussed in the previous session, according to a release issued here on Wednesday.
The FPCCI delegation warmly appreciated the Chairman’s initiative of making monthly visits to Karachi, describing it as a positive and welcome step that reflects the government’s commitment to sustained, direct engagement with the business community. They noted that such regular interaction had significantly improved communication between FBR and trade bodies, allowing issues to be raised and addressed in a timely manner.
The delegation further acknowledged that most of the issues raised in the previous meeting had been resolved through the efforts of Member Operations (Inland Revenue and Customs) and their teams, terming this responsiveness as encouraging for the business community. During the meeting, the delegation stressed the need for continued follow-up on remaining outstanding matters and also raised a few new issues, including classification problems and old income tax refunds.
The Chairman and his team assured the delegation that all issues—both pending and newly raised—would be addressed on a priority basis and resolved in consultation with concerned representatives of the Chambers and FBR wings.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman FBR expressed his commitment to resolving issues and continuing engagement with the business community. He reiterated FBR’s commitment to a facilitative and responsive approach toward taxpayers, emphasizing that such regular engagement with trade bodies like FPCCI would continue to promptly address concerns and further strengthen trust between the tax administration and the business community.
At the end, the Chairman requested FPCCI leaders to effectively campaign for the retailers scheme so that the tax base can be broadened and the tax burden on already compliant taxpayers can be shared.
