ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has sent the notice to Raham Khan over not registering herself for Tex in Pakistan.
According to reports, Reham, a British-Pakistani national, does not have National Tax Number (NTN) that is required for filing tax returns mandatory for everybody earning equivalent or above Rs500,000 annually.
She has worked as anchor with three different TV channels in Pakistan with salary in millions per annum.
A study by NADRA in 2012 found out 3.5 million Pakistanis living in posh areas who frequently travel abroad, operate multiple bank accounts and travel in luxury vehicles but don’t pay a penny in tax.
Reham disputes FBR claims about her alleged tax malpractices. When approached for version, she chose to respond through text messages. “I am a salaried individual so I don’t understand what this is about. Tax is deducted at source and I will forward you NTN number. I had only one salary,” read her text message.
