The meeting on the occasion was given an overview of the plan envisaging to implement the TRC recommendations. It was noted that apart from other measures for broadening of tax base, the FBR also needed to expand its outreach and physical presence beyond the mega centers and major cities for generating better revenue.

The meeting expressed the confidence that with implementation of the recommendations of the TRC there would be positive impact on revenue generation.
