The Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) of Pakistan has issued a tax notice to the late Gohar Ayub Khan, father of Omar Ayub Khan, who is the Leader of the Opposition in Pakistan’s National Assembly. Gohar Ayub Khan passed away in 2023, raising questions about the timeliness and accuracy of the FBR’s administrative processes.
In response to this oversight, Omar Ayub took to Twitter to express his dismay and frustration with the FBR’s actions. His tweet highlighted the FBR’s inefficiency, criticizing the organization for disturbing the peace of those who have passed away. Omar Ayub’s message was a poignant reminder of the need for sensitivity and accuracy in governmental operations, particularly in matters such as taxation after death.
In his tweet, Omar Ayub said, “Just look at the efficiency of our Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR)!! My father passed away last year, and FBR sent him a tax notice today. O Bhai Jan, Mr. Chairman FBR and your team of do-nothing officers!! At least let the people who have left this world rest in peace!! Koi sharam, koi haya??? @PTIofficial.”
The incident has sparked a conversation about the FBR’s effectiveness and ethical standards, prompting calls for improvements to ensure that similar mistakes are not repeated.
