REGIONAL TAX OFFICE RAWALPINDI CONFISCATES NON-DUTY PAID CARTONS OF
CIGARETTES WORTH MILLIONS
Upon receipt of credible information, Inland Revenue Squad of
Enforcement Network (IREN) of Regional Tax Office (RTO) Rawalpindi
confiscated scores of non-duty paid cartons of cigarettes worth millions
of rupees in two different raids.
In the first incident, IREN Squad intercepted a truck on GT Road in
Sohawa District, Jhelum, carrying non-duty paid 70 cartons (700,000
sticks) of local brand cigarettes. The illegal stock of cigarettes
involving tax evasion of approximately Rs. 1.9 Million was confiscated
and transferred to a warehouse in Jhelum as no documents/invoices were
produced to establish that the cigarettes were duty paid.
In a separate incident, 06 cartons (60.000 sticks) of non-duty paid
cigarettes of different local brands were confiscated from a local
dealer in Dina Market and the same were shifted to FBR warehouse in
Jhelum District.
Further investigation is underway in both cases.
