ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Friday informed the Senate that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) had started negotiations with Swiss authorities to provide access to accounts of Pakistani nationals.
The minister said that he was the first person in the country’s history who brought summary to the cabinet in this regard to empower the FBR.
He said two meetings of the FBR officials have so far been held with the Swiss authorities. He added that he would present full details in this house.
Regarding Rs200 billion of Pakistanis accounts in Swiss banks, Dar said that he had read about this in the press.
He said that he would assign a job to the FBR if he had information about this. He added that Pakistan also acquired membership of a global setup in this regard.
Meanwhile, minister Dar told the National Assembly that any decision regarding the extension of Custom Act in Malakand Division would be taken in the light of recommendations of the law ministry.
He said the promise about payment of net hydel profit to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would be fulfilled.
He added that it was 20-year old issue and the present government was trying to resolve it. The ministry of water and power is also involved in this issue.
Earlier, lawmaker Sahibzada Tariqullah demanded withdrawal of the decision of imposition of Customs Act in Malakhand Division. The provincial government has already moved its summary, withdrawing its early decision.
