B.   Updated Commentary

1.   Further to KQU 3609 of 20.10.25, being an important matter, we would inform you about Punjab Revenue Authority Launches Special Unit for Tax Expansion (Attachment 3317.1) in the ensuing paragraph, with emphasis in bold & Underline, heading ours for quick reading.

2.   The PRA is set to establish a Special Unit as part of its plan to enhance tax collection and enforcement across the province. The new unit will include professionals such as factory representatives, tax consultants, legal experts, and data analysts. The government has also approved the recruitment of 130 enforcement officers and decided to expand the PRA’s operations to 30 districts.

3.   Punjab Chief Minister Ms Maryam Nawaz has set a 30.10.25 deadline for the completion of this expansion. ADCGs will be assigned additional responsibilities to support the authority’s operations in the newly included districts.

4.  The provincial government is also reviewing the inclusion of 19 new sectors under the provincial tax framework. To improve taxpayer convenience, the PRA has launched a dedicated mobile application. The Chief Minister emphasized that “honest taxpayers must not be harassed” and urged officials to focus on bringing untaxed sectors into the revenue net instead.

5.  According to official data, the PRA collected Rs 66.41 billion in taxes during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025-26, marking a 28% increase from Rs 51.98 billion collected during the same period last year.

6.   Additionally, Rs 1.7 billion was collected under the Punjab Infrastructure Development Cess. The authority confirmed that this growth was achieved without introducing new taxes or increasing existing rates.

7.  Meanwhile, PRA enforcement teams have launched a province-wide crackdown on unregistered service providers to expand the tax base. The teams are conducting field surveys and issuing notices to unregistered businesses as part of the authority’s ongoing efforts to strengthen compliance and transparency..
