The policies are-National Tax Card Policy 2010 and District Wise Top and Long Term Income Taxpayers’ Policy 2008, officials said. The tax cards are awarded in line with the National Tax Card Policy 2010. Another 11 will receive the national tax card under different categories as the NBR has decided to include them for national awards. Some individual taxpayers under another five categories- freedom fighters, female taxpayers, gazette freedom fighters, physically disabled persons and young taxpayers- will also be awarded with the tax card from this year. The increased number of taxpayers will be awarded on the basis of their income tax statement and tax payment figure as paid in the latest fiscal year once the NBR move comes into effect.
