The committee will meet in coordination with the Consultative Committee on Revenue Reforms to adopt an action plan.

Later, in consultation with representatives of BCS (Tax) and BCS (Customs and VAT Excise) cadres, it will meet with the finance adviser to determine the action to be taken.

The finance adviser’s office issued a directive on May 25 to consult with the National Revenue Advisory Committee and key stakeholders to formulate a framework for revenue policy separation as part of the process of implementing the Revenue Policy and Revenue Management Ordinance, 2025 and elevating the National Board of Revenue to the status of an independent and specialized department.

In continuation of this, the committee has been formed comprising the members of the BCS (Customs and VAT Excise) and BCS (Tax) cadres of the National Board of Revenue to coordinate the steps to take forward all related activities.
