KARACHI: Taxpayers in Karachi are unable to pay provincial sales tax as the tax filing portal of Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) remains inaccessible due to an unexpected maintenance delay.
The issue was highlighted by the Karachi Customs Agents Association (KCAA), which revealed that the SRB portal for filing Sindh sales tax returns has been offline since August 9, 2023, causing significant hardships for taxpayers and service providers.
The disruption has been attributed to maintenance work being carried out by Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL), under the directive of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). This unforeseen delay has paralyzed the monthly tax filing activities of Customs Agents and other service providers who rely on the SRB portal for the accurate and timely submission of their sales tax returns.
