The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is expected to avoid introducing any fresh taxes in the federal budget for FY2026-27 and will instead focus on boosting revenue through stricter enforcement and improved tax compliance measures.

Officials say the strategy is aimed at meeting ambitious revenue targets without increasing the tax burden on the public.

According to sources, the FBR has been assigned a target of around Rs. 778 to Rs. 780 billion in additional revenue through enforcement-based actions, including recovery drives, documentation efforts, and enhanced monitoring systems.

The government is also considering limited relief for salaried individuals and certain sectors, with any shortfall expected to be covered through stronger collection efforts rather than new levies.
