CHARSADDA: The ‘registration week’ of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA), launched for the taxpayers’ facilitation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, concluded here the other day.

Over 100 service providers in Charsadda, Mardan, Nowshera and Swabi were brought into the tax net and over 150 others were identified for the purpose.

The teams of KPRA provided instant registration facility to the unregistered business owners associated with services sector in Mardan, Charsadda, Nowshera and Swabi in the weeklong campaign conducted on the special directive of the authority’s director general Fayyaz Ali Shah.

The USAID-KPRM provided assistance to the KPRA staff to successfully conduct the campaign in which assistant collectors, inspectors and facilitation officers visited the business premises of potential taxpayers for awareness and providing the instant registration facility.

On the last day on Friday, the registration teams set up their mobile registration camp at Baghicha Restaurant on Ghani Khan Road, Charsadda, for facilitation of the taxpayers who visited the camp and got their businesses registered on the spot.

KPRA director (legal) Aftab Ahmad thanked the people of Charsadda, Nowshera, Mardan and Swabi for welcoming the teams and their tax compliance.

“The KPRA team will be available for any assistance and help needed to our taxpayers,” he said.

He also thanked the USAID-KPRM for their support in the drive, saying the collaboration would continue for the education, awareness and facilitation of taxpayers.
