The programme would introduce technologically-enabled outreach initiatives under PRR (Pakistan Raises Revenue Programme) through mobile tax facilitation stations to bring frequently used taxation services closer to the taxpayers’ doorstep. The initiative will be implemented in accordance with government priorities and policies, including the Federal Cabinet’s circular from July 7, 2022, which outlined the austerity measures for FY 2022–2023 and authorised the purchase of such utility vehicles. This initiative will be carried out in stages following the approval of the revised PC-1 by the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) and the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC).
