The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has sealed two sugar mills in central Punjab after finding serious violations of tax rules, the authority said on Monday, reports Profit.
In a statement, the FBR said the action was taken after the mills failed to follow legal requirements related to monitoring and control under the sales tax law. These rules are meant to ensure proper oversight and compliance in the sugar sector.
The tax authority said the move reflects the government’s strict approach towards violations, especially in industries that are considered vulnerable to tax losses.
According to the FBR, the sealing of the mills was carried out following legal procedures and with transparency, to protect government revenue and ensure fair treatment for businesses that follow the rules.
The FBR said it continues to encourage businesses to comply voluntarily with tax laws, but warned that firm legal action will be taken against those who deliberately break sales tax regulations.
