\nChairman FBR Shabbar Zaidi has said that the declared assets could not be referred as evidence for any legal proceeding under any other law. In a statement issued here on Wednesday, Shabbar Zaidi clarified that the assets declared under section 12 of the Assets Declaration Ordinance 2019, could not be used as evidence against the declarer for a legal proceeding or fine under any other law.
\nThe assets declared would never be presented in any court of law or any other forum as evidence against those declaring their assets, the statement added.
\nAnd as a precautionary measure, this data would be secured in the FBR and would not be available to any official of the FBR or any other government agency.
\nSection 12 of the law said that the declared assets would have legal immunity.
\nMinister of State for Revenue Hammad Azhar had also earlier said that the government has ensured that those availing the amnesty scheme, or those who had mentioned their properties in the tax returns, would not be harassed.
\nHe said he was giving an assurance to those intending to declare their assets under the current scheme that they would never face any difficulty in future due to this sharing of the data with the FBR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
