Pakistan's FBR cancels affidavit requirement for CFOs in September 2024 sales tax returns, amid trade body pushback.

This decision aims to alleviate concerns over the affidavit's burden while the FBR invites alternative proposals to tackle tax fraud by October 31. The FBR clarified that the affidavit does not impose new legal obligations, but warns against submitting false information, which can lead to penalties.
