FBR Collects Rs. 828 Billion in Petrol Taxes During July–December, showing a strong growth in fuel revenue collection. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR Pakistan) reported this increase due to stricter enforcement against illegal fuel trade. Compared to the previous fiscal year, revenue rose by Rs. 284 billion, reflecting better compliance with petroleum regulations.
The Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) contributed significantly to the total collection. During July–November, the FBR collected Rs. 706 billion from PDL alone. Rs. 146 billion came from improved legal supply of fuel, and Rs. 138 billion was generated through price adjustments in fuel. Customs enforcement operations played a key role in sealing 1,442 illegal petrol pumps nationwide. Despite this, about 142 unauthorized pumps remain active.
Provincial enforcement across Punjab, Sindh, KP, and Balochistan has curbed petroleum product smuggling. These measures not only increase PDL revenue but also stabilize the petroleum product market. Officials expect the continued crackdown on illegal fuel trade will further improve revenue collection. Price adjustments and compliance measures are part of the government’s taxation policy to ensure authorized fuel sales.
The impact of petrol taxes on citizens is noticeable, but the collected revenue supports national development. Fuel revenue collection growth reflects the government’s effort to strengthen nationwide fuel regulation. By monitoring illegal petrol pumps and maintaining authorized supply chains, the FBR ensures legal operations benefit both the economy and consumers.
In conclusion, FBR collects Rs. 828 billion in Petrol Taxes during July–December through stricter enforcement, price adjustments, and nationwide regulatory measures. Continued efforts against smuggling will likely boost revenue growth further.
