History

Established as the ''Central Board of Revenue'' on 1 April 1924 through enactment of the "''Central Board of Revenue Act, 1924''". In 1944, the CBR was put under the ''Revenue Division'' with the Ministry of Finance until 1960, when on the recommendations of the "''Administrative Reorganization Committee"'', the CBR was made into a division of the Ministry of Finance. In 1974, further changes were made to streamline the organization and its functions. In 1991, the CBR was once again reverted to its original status under the Revenue Division, however in January 1995, the Revenue Division was abolished and the CBR was once again reverted to a division of the Ministry of Finance. In 2007, the "''FBR Act''" was passed in July 2007, whereby the Central Board of Revenue was renamed to the present-day Federal Board of Revenue and for a third time placed again under the Revenue Division of the Ministry of Finance. FBR primarily operates through its main collection arms comprising Regional Tax Offices (RTOs) and Large Taxpayer Units (LTUs) across the country.
