The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has rolled out a new service allowing citizens to pay their sales tax at e-Khidmat Markaz centers. This initiative aims to simplify tax payment processes by providing a centralized and accessible platform for taxpayers. By integrating tax services into these centers, the government seeks to enhance transparency and efficiency in revenue collection.
e-Khidmat Markaz centers, established to offer multiple government services under one roof, now include sales tax payments, reducing the need for taxpayers to visit multiple offices. This development is part of a broader digital governance strategy to improve public service delivery and promote ease of doing business in Punjab. The move is expected to increase compliance rates and reduce administrative burdens on both taxpayers and tax authorities.
In a significant development for fiscal management, this service expansion reflects the government’s commitment to leveraging technology for better governance. It also aligns with efforts to boost provincial revenue streams while providing a user-friendly experience for citizens. Meanwhile, the PITB continues to explore additional digital solutions to streamline other tax and government-related services across Punjab.
