Questions Regarding Taxation, FBR & SRB Advisory
What should I do if FBR freezes my business bank account without notice?
Immediate legal recourse involves filing an urgent application before the Appellate Tribunal or a Constitutional Writ Petition before the Sindh High Court demonstrating that the recovery was coercive and carried out without due notice.
What is the timeline for filing an appeal against an FBR assessment order?
An appeal before the Commissioner (Appeals) must be filed within 30 days of the receipt of the assessment order, accompanied by proof of payment of the statutory appeal fee.
