The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has launched a series of inspections across various restaurants in Lahore to ensure compliance with registration and tax regulations.
Under the directives of the Commissioner PRA Lahore, enforcement officers are actively verifying the registration status of restaurants in the city. This initiative aims to bring unregistered businesses into the tax net and promote transparency. In line with these efforts, show-cause notices have been issued to several restaurants that have failed to register with the PRA, urging them to regularize their status. Registered restaurants found to be non-compliant in tax payments have also received show-cause notices.
Furthermore, restaurants that have not installed the Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (EIMS) as required by law have also been served with notices, emphasizing the need for immediate compliance.
Restaurants found in violation of these regulations, including those that have failed to register, install the EIMS, or make timely tax payments, have been granted a one-week grace period to fulfill their obligations. Failure to comply within the specified time may result in penalties and stringent legal action.
The Punjab Revenue Authority remains committed to ensuring tax compliance and improving revenue collection.
