Islamabad:The Federal Tax Ombudsman Secretariat on Friday said the country's president had neither set aside or annulled any of its decisions nor imposed any restrictions on its statutory powers relating to Own Motion or Inspection-based notices or proceedings.
"The president has only modified the relevant decisions to the limited extent that, where defects or irregularities have been identified through above referred Own Motions Investigations and Inspections, the responsibility for determining the detailed and appropriate procedure for effective, transparent and lawful corrective action shall rest with the Federal Board of Revenue," it said in a statement.
The FTO said the president’s decision was fully in conformity with the law and supported, supplemented and validated the lawful exercise of its Own Motion and Inspections based proceedings. It added that its Implementation Wing was going to take up the matter with the FBR to proceed in line with the president's decision.
