PRA starts checking of restaurants’ registration status

LAHORE: The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has launched a series of inspections across various restaurants in provincial capital to ensure compliance with registration and tax regulations.

Under the directives of the Commissioner PRA Lahore, enforcement officers are actively verifying the registration status of restaurants in the city. This initiative aims to bring unregistered businesses into the tax net and promote transparency.

In line with these efforts, the show-cause notices have been issued to several restaurants that failed to register themselves with the PRA, urging them to regularise their status. The restaurants that are registered but non-compliant in tax payments have also been issued show-cause notices.

Furthermore, the restaurants that have not installed the Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (EIMS) as required by law, have also been served with notices, emphasising the need for immediate compliance.

The restaurants found in violation of these regulations, have been granted a one-week grace period to fulfill their obligations. Failure to comply within the specified time may result in penalties and stringent legal action.

The Punjab Revenue Authority remains committed to ensuring tax compliance and improving revenue collection.
