- The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has introduced a new compensation mechanism for delayed sales tax refunds.
- The compensation will be linked to the Karachi Interbank Offered Rate (KIBOR).
- The aim is to streamline and expedite the refund process and provide relief to businesses facing delays.
- Taxpayers awaiting refunds will be entitled to receive an extra amount equivalent to KIBOR per annum for the duration of the delay.
- Safeguards are in place to prevent misuse of the compensation mechanism.
- Businesses are advised to stay informed about the changes and leverage their rights under the updated Sales Tax Act, 1990.
