The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is intensifying enforcement measures against unregistered businesses in Pakistan. As part of the crackdown, the FBR will block bank accounts and disconnect utility services such as electricity and gas for non-filers and unregistered commercial entities.

This decisive action is aimed at broadening the tax base and ensuring compliance with tax registration laws. Businesses operating without a valid NTN (National Tax Number) or not appearing on the active taxpayer list (ATL) are the primary targets of this campaign.

Authorities have warned that continued non-compliance will lead to severe operational disruptions. The FBR has directed relevant departments and utility providers to coordinate closely to implement these penalties effectively.

This move is part of broader economic reforms and aims to reduce tax evasion, enhance revenue collection, and create a fairer business environment in Pakistan.
