ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue Chairman Shabbar Zaidi on Tuesday inaugurated a new software called Centralised Sales Tax and Federal Excise Duty Assessment and Processing (CSTAP) to effectively monitor the sales tax returns.

The software, developed by Inland Revenue Operations Wing, will identify the tax gaps and determine actual sales tax/ FED liabilities of all taxpayers.

The FBR chief was given live demonstration on the working and application of the new software, said a statement.

This software will also be used for the purpose of expeditious processing of refund claims.

First batch of 25 officers from field formations are given the task to test run this software from Sept 11, added the announcement.
