The federal government has replaced the chairman of the Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR), Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said, four months after it had appointed a new head of the tax regulatory authority.
Dr Muhammad Ashfaq Ahmed has been appointed as the new chairman of FBR, the information minister said in a press conference in Islamabad.
The federal government, on April 9, had appointed member IT Asim Ahmed as the new chairman of the FBR.
This is the seventh time the PTI-led government is appointing the FBR chairman.
Later in the day, the Establishment Division issued a notification for Dr Ahmad's appointment — who is a grade 21 office.
