Lahore, 27th October: World-renowned singer of Pakistan music industry Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has once again come under the target of FBR.
Baaghi TV: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has launched an operation to trace the income of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan from foreign concerts.
In this regard, the FBR has written a letter to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) regarding singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
In its letter, the FBR has sought the travel history of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan for the last six years. The letter also asked the FIA to provide details of all foreign trips of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan from July 1, 2014, to date.
On the other hand, the super star’s team has claimed that no message from the FBR has reached Rahat Fateh Ali yet. “We have not yet received any information from the FBR,” Khan’s manager Muhammad Amir told a private TV channel. We are currently looking into the matter.
It should be noted that the singer has been on the FBR’s radar before in connection with the payment of his taxes. The bank accounts of the singer were seized in 2017 in the case of tax evasion. At the time, the action was taken due to non-payment of income tax worth more than Rs 3 million by the FBR in 2015.
Earlier in 2011, the singer was summoned to the Lahore Regional Tax Office after returning from a foreign tour. At that time, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan had appealed for ignorance of Pakistani tax laws and procedures and promised to submit tax returns on time from now on.
