According to a press release from the PM Office Media Wing, the prime minister ordered the suspension of all pertinent officials and ordered an investigation into them.
Shortly after taking over as prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif ordered quick changes to be made to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and made the decision to supervise the procedure himself.
According to information, issues involving government income of billions of rupees are languishing in the Tax Tribunals for resolution.
The Chief Justice of Pakistan had been asked by the prime minister to expedite the resolution of certain cases.
The prime minister recently ordered the appropriate authorities to look into one of these ongoing cases, in which an FBR attorney had requested an adjournment.
The prime minister noted that the pending lawsuits involving tax concerns worth billions of rupees were negatively impacting the national exchequer.
As part of his commitment to the country, PM Shehbaz made it plain that he would continue to oversee the tax reforms and that he would not put up with any sort of inaction in the pursuit of these legal problems.
The prime minister was quoted in the press release as adding that they would have to work day and night to increase revenue and save every penny of the country and nation.
