PRA seals outlets of major food-chain in Lahore over tax issue

The Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA) has sealed multiple branches of the fast-food chain KFC in Lahore, Pakistan, due to alleged violations of tax regulations as part of an ongoing campaign against tax evasion. Five KFC outlets, located in DHA EME, Askari 10, and DHA Z Block, were sealed. This action follows a similar incident earlier this month where the PRA sealed seven branches of the coffee shop Double Shot over discrepancies in tax matters, specifically for bypassing the Electronic Invoice Monitoring System (EIMS) and under-declaring sales. The PRA asserts that these actions deprive the government of legitimate revenue and constitute willful non-compliance.
