The National Board of Revenue is going to introduce a new system online from September 1 and taxpayers would be able to submit their income tax returns from mobile phones through this platform.
The taxpayers would be able to submit their tax returns for the current fiscal year by using the website of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) or using their respective mobile phone sets, said a handout.
The income tax wing of the NBR has already got success in this regard by conducting a survey on the acceptance of the taxpayers and on the internet.
Sources at the NBR said that with this new system, the taxpayers would be able to collect income tax certificates, receipt of the tax returns, and TIN certificates at any time.
For availing the service, the taxpayers would have to register themselves at the website of the NBR through using their respective mobile phone sets which are registered with the BTRC.
This online system would scrutinise the credibility of the taxpayers through using the biometric database of the BTRC and then would provide the user names and passwords.
