Pakistan Restructures FBR to Meet IMF Demands

The Pakistani government has made significant progress in meeting an International Monetary Fund (IMF) requirement by shifting pivotal tax policy-making responsibilities from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to a newly established Tax Policy Office under the Ministry of Finance.

A recent notification has formalized the separation of tax collection from policy formulation to enhance transparency and effectiveness in governance. This reorganization enables the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to focus solely on tax collection and enforcement, moving away from policy-making activities. This strategic shift aims to boost operational efficiency and sharpen the focus within the FBR.

Meanwhile, the newly established Tax Policy Office will operate directly under the Finance and Revenue Minister’s supervision. This office is responsible for crafting reform agendas, analyzing tax policies, and reviewing proposals. Its mandate includes producing comprehensive policy reports on income tax, sales tax, and federal excise duty, focusing on reducing fraud and strengthening tax enforcement mechanisms.

This restructuring is part of broader efforts to optimize revenue generation, close tax loopholes, and elevate the standard of economic governance in Pakistan. It aligns with commitments made to the IMF to foster a more autonomous and effective tax system.

In related developments, a delegation of IMF experts visited Pakistan on February 12 to review audit procedures and transparency measures in the public sector. During their visit, they engaged with various stakeholders, including the Auditor General of Pakistan, to discuss governance and corruption challenges. The IMF’s ongoing Governance and Corruption Diagnostic Assessment (GCDA) underscores the critical role of parliamentary oversight in public accountability, with the opposition traditionally leading the Public Accounts Committee.

This comprehensive restructuring initiative and international engagement highlight Pakistan’s concerted efforts to meet international standards and enhance its fiscal and economic governance.
