KEY ELEMENTS OF THE L.T.U
Introduction
The LTU will be organized on
functional lines. The LTU will help to
experiment the transformation of Central
Board of Revenue on functional basis.
Proposed Organizational Structure of LTU:
The Model office of Large
Taxpayer Unit (LTU) at
Karachi
will fully manage the affairs of
designated large taxpayers of
Karachi.
This unit will represent a sizable
proportion of the tax base of
Karachi
.
The following depicts the organizational
structure of LTU:
The LTU has the mandate of
collection, enforcement and audit of
income tax (including the corporate and
personal taxes withholding etc.), sales
tax and central excise duty of around
300 Large Taxpayers in the
Karachi
region. While some of the selected
taxpayers are liable to pay all the
three taxes, the others are required to
pay any two or only one of them.
Notwithstanding the number of taxes paid
by a taxpayer, it is being administered
as a single entity by the LTU. There is
close liaison between various members of
FBR and Director General LTU. The new
organizational structure of FBR provides
that the functions of LTU will be
replicated at other field formations.

would be to :-
·
assist taxpayers through technical
advice and taxpayer services;
