The FBR directed the field formations to adopt the following steps in addition to their regular actions:

01. Immediate action on non-files of July and August 2019, especially where the registered persons have filed their sales tax returns for the tax periods of May and June 2019. In addition, desk audit of the registered persons who filed returns for the month of July and August 2019 to be conducted especially those who were previously included in five reduced / zero rated sectors.

02. Monitoring of registered persons paying sales tax under Eighth Schedule of the Sales Tax Act, 1990 especially in those cases where registered persons are supplying at reduced rate.

03. Sectoral analysis/reports must be made by the field formations having jurisdiction over a specific sector, and these reports should be shared with the FBR as well as other field formations having jurisdiction over same sectors. Any success stories be identified.
