Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is preparing to roll out a major enforcement system from the next fiscal year aimed at curbing sales tax evasion and reducing an estimated Rs200 billion in potential revenue losses.

According to official sources, the plan will introduce a nationwide digital tracking mechanism for commercial goods transport, bringing the entire supply chain under a monitored system.

Under the proposed framework, only FBR-registered trucks will be allowed to transport goods from factories and industrial units. Businesses will be required to dispatch cargo exclusively through registered vehicles.

Sources said unregistered commercial trucks will not be permitted to operate on motorways, highways, and other major road networks under the new system.

The initiative also includes the introduction of special tracking tags for all commercial cargo vehicles, enabling real-time monitoring of goods movement across the country.

Officials said the system is designed to prevent tax evasion, curb smuggling, and eliminate loopholes in the documentation of goods transportation.

Non-compliant or unregistered transport operators will face penalties, while only registered vehicles will be allowed to move goods freely across the national logistics network.

The move is expected to significantly tighten enforcement in the supply chain and improve tracking of commercial cargo nationwide.
