PBC’s stance

In response to the development, the Pakistan Business Council (PBC) posted on X that the proposed Tax Policy Board should not only be independent of the FBR but also of the Ministry of Finance, which approves the annual budget, in order to avoid knee-jerk, short-term, revenue-seeking measures that undermine the longer-term, sustainable, and equitable policy objectives. Otherwise, the temptation to tinker will persist.

According to the statement, it should ideally be a division of the Ministry of Planning. It was emphasized that all three were necessary for the nation’s tax policy: careful planning, fair fiscal policy development, and unique initiatives to increase the tax base.

The fact that the FBR Chairman, who also serves as the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance’s Revenue Division, signed the circular announcing the formation of the independent tax policy unit called into question the sincerity of the announcement.
