LAHROE: District Accounts Offices (DAOs) have informed the Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) that the FBR field formations have never issued any guidelines /instructions with regard to adjustment of taxes withheld from the salaried persons. 

It was observed during investigation by the FTO office that all of the salaried persons are subjected to excess tax deductions u/s 149 at the stage of deduction at source, despite the fact that they fully qualify the benefit under Clause (2) of Part Ill of Second Schedule to the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.
