Under Section 8A, both the supplier and recipient of taxable supplies can be held liable if they knew or suspected unpaid taxes. The FBR can exempt certain transactions from these rules. These measures aim to enhance compliance and accountability in tax payments. The article advises consulting the FBR or a tax professional for guidance.
