ISLAMABAD, Aug 3: Federal Tax Ombudsman Justice (retired) Munir A. Shaikh has asked the Central Board of Revenue (CBR) to make amendments to its computer software to avoid unnecessary harassment to importers and exporters.
The directive was issued on the complaint of a cloth mill against blocking of its imports and exports in the customs department’s computer network.
The ombudsman directed the CBR to issue a notice to importers about 15 to 30 days in advance of the process of blockage of clearance upon default.
