Faisal Super Mart in Sanghar Sealed for Tax Violation

On the instruction of Commissioner Inland Revenue Zone II, Muhammad Shamim, Aijaz Ali, the Focal Person Point of Sale and Assistant Commissioner Inland Revenue, directed the sealing of M/s Faisal Super Mart, situated in Sanghar.

The action was taken due to violations of Section 33, Serial No. 24 of the Sales Tax Act of 1990. This section imposes penalties on integrated retailers who provide fraudulent, manually generated, or unverifiable sales invoices lacking the FBR-mandated QR code and Invoice Number, done in a manner to evade sales reporting. The Chief Commissioner Inland Revenue, Qazi Hafiz-ur-Rehman, issued the orders that prompted this enforcement.

The business was discovered to be issuing unofficial invoices, thereby contravening the FBR’s Point of Sale regulations. This unlawful practice was detected through a Mystery Shopping initiative carried out under the guidance of Commissioner Inland Revenue Zone-II, Muhammad Shamim, from the Regional Tax Office Hyderabad. Upon verification of the fraudulent invoices, authorities promptly sealed the business premises of M/s Faisal Super Mart.
