FBR to rectify and settle IRIS software system issues at the earliest :Mohsin Nadeem

Pakistan Tax Bar AssociationLahore: President Pakistan Tax Bar Association Mohsin Nadeem has said that newly introduced IRIS software system is full of flaws and taxpayers and tax
practitioners are facing lot of problems. He demanded Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to rectify and settle these issues at the earliest.

He voiced these views while presiding over a meeting in Pakistan Tax Bar Association’s office, here on Wednesday. Senior Vice President Pakistan Tax Bar Association (PTBA) Jamil Akhtar Baig, Vice President Muhammad Mohsin Virk, General Secretary Abdul Qadoos Mughal and other office bearers
were also present on this occasion. President PTBA expressed his reservations and said that tax practitioners and tax related people are totally unaware and uninformed about complicated IRIS software system due to which they are facing difficulties.

Mohsin Nadeem demanded FBR to arrange training sessions on IRIS software system for tax practitioners and tax related persons in all big cities of the country because they are not aware and used to this new system. He said that PTBA has already offered infrastructure and support in conducting
these training sessions. He pointed out that Active Taxpayers List (ATL) is not updated and people who filed their tax returns for the year 2015 are not included in the list. He demanded FBR to take prompt action and include new taxpayers in ATL and they should not be deprived of benefits associated
with taxpayers.

President PTBA directed the general secretary Abdul Qadoos Mughal to issue letters to all tax practitioners of the country and get proposals and suggestions about new IRIS software system so that future planning could be finalized. Meeting thanked Federal Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar for
extending the date of filing of income tax return till 31st October 2015.
