*ISLAMABAD – Federal Board of Revenue has intensified crackdown against thetax defaulters.*

*FBR has served another 154 notices to suspected tax defaulters on Tuesday.*

These notices have been served to those resourceful people who purchasedproperty worth Rs20 million, bought 1800 cc automobiles and earned rentalincomes of Rs10 million a year but didn’t file their income tax returns.

Earlier this month, the PTI government kicked off a campaign against taxevaders and served notices to 244 suspects. The finance minister then saidthe campaign will extend to the thousands suspected of evading taxes.

These are the people who have bought luxurious cars and lucrativeproperties but are non-filers — people who don’t file their income taxreturns regardless of whether they pay tax or not.
