ISLAMABAD: The Regional Tax Office (RTO) Sahiwal has recovered Rs4 million from Cheezious after carrying out an enforcement operation under Section 175C of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. Officials launched the action after a monitoring team reportedly identified a significant difference between the company’s declared sales and actual business activity recorded at the premises.
According to an official statement issued by the Revenue Division on May 30, 2026, authorities initiated the operation as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen tax compliance and curb underreporting. The development has drawn attention as the Federal Board of Revenue continues to tighten enforcement measures across multiple sectors.
Monitoring Team Flags Alleged Sales Discrepancy
During the operation, a dedicated team from RTO Sahiwal remained present at the business location to monitor sales activity. Officials reportedly compared on-ground transactions with declared turnover and observed what they described as major irregularities in reported figures.
Following the review, authorities initiated enforcement proceedings against the company. As a result, Cheezious was directed to deposit Rs4 million, which has now been submitted to the national exchequer.
Meanwhile, Cheezious responded to the reports and disputed the claim. The company said the matter stemmed from an error on the part of the Federal Board of Revenue and added that discussions with tax authorities were underway.

In its statement to media, Cheezious said the reported claim was “not 100% true” and described the issue as a misunderstanding linked to FBR records. The company added that it remains in contact with officials regarding the matter.
At the same time, RTO Sahiwal said it will continue expanding enforcement operations as part of broader efforts to prevent tax evasion and improve revenue collection nationwide.
