SUSPENSION OF IRS OFFICERS – CLARIFICATION REGARDING

April 07, 2015

FBR has suspended six IRS officers vide Notification dated 03-04-2015 on the charges that they have failed to disposed off the audit cases assigned to them as reflected in Taxpayers Audit Management System (TAMS).

However, certain sections of press have mis-reported this fact and have given the impression that these officers have been suspended on charges of “Corruption” which is absolutely untrue. The fact of the matter is that FBR monitors performance and efficiency of the Officers engaged in Audit through computer software and action is taken against those officers whose performance is found below the required threshold. The above six officers have been suspended for not meeting the required performance level in disposal of Audit cases.
