FBR Revenue Collection Target: Government Mandates Record Rs14.1 Trillion Goal for Upcoming Fiscal Budget

ISLAMABAD — As final structural frameworks for the Federal Budget are locked in, the government has set an ambitious tax collection target for the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) at Rs14,131 billion, representing a steep 9% scaling from last year’s target. To bridge fiscal gaps and curb tax leakage without over-burdening regular documented segments, Finance Ministry officials are rolling out digitized enforcement pillars. The upcoming revenue strategy relies heavily on AI-based audit selection engines for sales and income tax, automated risk-based adjustments, and mandatory B2B e-invoicing platforms managed by a newly authorized Central Control Unit to integrate cross-departmental data.
