The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has reported a significant milestone, revealing that the number of active taxpayers in Pakistan has reached an all-time high of 7.27 million. This growth highlights an increased compliance rate and expanding tax base, reflecting the government’s efforts to encourage documentation and improve tax culture.
According to officials, this jump in filer numbers indicates both enhanced public awareness and the success of recent policy initiatives. Compared to previous years, the increase is notable and demonstrates greater participation from individuals and businesses across various sectors.
Authorities remain optimistic that this upward trend will continue, which would help strengthen national revenue and reduce reliance on external borrowing. They emphasized the importance of consistent filing and warned that those failing to comply risk being excluded from the Active Taxpayers List (ATL), losing various benefits associated with the status.
Pakistan’s Active Taxpayers List has reached a record 7.27 million, reflecting increased tax compliance and broader documentation of the economy. The rise is attributed to policy reforms and improved public awareness. Authorities urge continued participation to ensure sustainable national revenue growth.
