The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has sealed two production lines of Chinar Sugar Mill after detecting violations of the Track and Trace System, reaffirming its zero-tolerance policy against tax evasion in the sugar sector.
According to the FBR, the action was taken as part of strict enforcement measures to ensure compliance with tax laws and the mandatory electronic monitoring system installed at sugar mills. The authority warned that sugar mills found involved in bypassing or violating the track and trace mechanism will continue to face strict legal action.
FBR officials stated that these enforcement actions are part of a broader nationwide campaign aimed at enhancing transparency, curbing tax evasion, and ensuring fair practices in the sugar industry. The track and trace system, they said, plays a crucial role in monitoring production, preventing under-reporting, and safeguarding government revenues.
The FBR further emphasized that strict monitoring and enforcement will continue even after the conclusion of the sugar crushing season, making it clear that compliance is required at all times.
The move reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening tax administration and promoting transparency across key sectors of the economy.
