FBR’s tax facilitation initiatives hailed

ISLAMABAD: Ambassador of China in Pakistan Yao Jing on Wednesday appreciated the steps taken by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to facilitate taxpayers.

During a call on meeting with FBR Chairman Syed Muhammad Shabbar Zaidi at the FBR headquarters, he particularly lauded those measures that focus on redressing the grievances of taxpayers, an FBR statement said.
