The FBR, according to the data, has collected net revenue of Rs458 billion during the period, which has exceeded the target of Rs443 billion by Rs15 billion.
These collections are the highest ever in the month of July, the FBR said, which represents a growth of about 10% over the collection of Rs417 billion during the same period, last year.
The figures are expected to improve after book adjustments have been taken into account.
On the other hand, the gross collection increased from Rs438 billion during July last year to Rs486 billion, showing an increase of 11%. Likewise, the number of refunds disbursed during July was Rs28 billion compared to Rs21 billion paid last year, showing an increase of 32%.
Owing to the paradigm shift, the domestic taxes contributed 55% to the collection, while import taxes remained 45%.
This has reversed the trend. Previously, the taxes at the import stage were 52-53% of the overall collection. Likewise, the growth in domestic Income Tax is almost 31%, which is a "remarkable shift towards direct taxation", the FBR said.
It is pertinent to mention that Income Tax Returns for Tax Year-2021 have reached 3.4 million compared to 3.0 million in Tax Year-2020, showing an increase of 13%.
The tax deposited with returns during the Tax Year 2021 was Rs76 billion compared to only Rs52 billion in the Tax Year 2020, showing a significant increase of 46%.
