The government is likely to block bank accounts of non-filers and has also decided to fix the amount of sales tax on the import of mobile phones, replacing 18 percent sales tax under the amended Finance Bill 2024.
Sources said that the proposal to freeze bank accounts of non-filers was part of the original Finance Bill 2024, but the same was not passed.
In cases where non-filers are not responding to notices, the government may consider a proposal to block bank accounts of non-filers till they appear on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL).
