The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) will roll out a Track & Trace (T&T) system for tobacco, cement, fertilisers and sugar from 1 July, Dawn reported.

Member Operations Inland Revenue Dr Muhammad Ashfaq said that it should be implemented as per the recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) which has also suggested raising taxes on tobacco. There have been five attempts to launch the T&T system in the country, but now it is finally being implemented, the report said.
