旁遮普邦消费税部门向巴基斯坦 26 名银行负责人发出严厉通知，原因是他们忽视了对 20,000 多辆租赁车辆缴纳象征性税款。据 ETO 管理员哈立德·侯赛因·卡苏里 (Khalid Hussain Qasoori) 称，该部门警告称，可能会造成严重后果，包括取消车辆登记、处以 100% 罚款，以及可能没收和拍卖银行财产。该通知强调，尽管银行从车辆承租人处收到包括加价在内的每月分期付款，但仍未缴纳象征性税款。

巴基斯坦旁遮普省拉合尔 - 旁遮普省消费税部门已向巴基斯坦各地 26 家银行负责人发出正式通知，称通过其机构租赁的 20,000 多辆车辆未缴纳象征性税款。

"The vehicle registration could be cancelled, a 100 percent fine imposed, and bank properties may be seized and auctioned if the taxes remain unpaid," warned Khalid Hussain Qasoori, ETO Admin, in a strongly worded letter sent to the banks.

ETO 管理员哈立德·侯赛因·卡苏里 (Khalid Hussain Qasoori) 在发给银行的一封措辞强硬的信中警告称：“如果仍未缴纳税款，车辆登记可能会被取消，处以 100% 的罚款，银行财产可能会被没收和拍卖。”

The department emphasized that banks receive monthly installments for the leased vehicles, including markups, but have persistently failed to pay the Punjab excise's token tax or encourage their customers to do so. Despite repeated notices, meetings, and reminders disseminated via newspaper advertisements, the token tax remains outstanding.

该部门强调，银行每月收取租赁车辆的分期付款，包括加价，但一直未能支付旁遮普消费税的象征性税或鼓励客户这样做。尽管通过报纸广告多次发出通知、会议和提醒，象征性税仍然悬而未决。

Qasoori stated that if the outstanding taxes, along with a 100 percent fine, are not settled within 14 days, strict measures will be taken. This includes the cancellation of vehicle registrations and the sealing of bank premises.

卡苏里表示，如果未在 14 天内付清所欠税款以及 100% 的罚款，将采取严格措施。这包括取消车辆登记和查封银行场所。

The department's letter highlights the legal obligation of banks to ensure compliance with tax regulations. It raises concerns about the potential financial and operational consequences for banks that fail to meet their tax obligations, including the loss of assets and disruption of business operations.

该部门的信强调了银行确保遵守税务法规的法律义务。它引发了人们对未能履行纳税义务的银行潜在的财务和运营后果的担忧，包括资产损失和业务运营中断。

The Excise and Taxation Department of Punjab is urging banks to take immediate action to address this matter and avoid the imposition of penalties. The department's determination to enforce tax compliance underscores the government's commitment to ensuring revenue collection and maintaining the integrity of the tax system.

旁遮普邦消费税部门敦促银行立即采取行动解决这一问题，避免受到处罚。该部门执行税收合规的决心突显了政府对确保税收和维护税收制度完整性的承诺。

It is expected that the banks will promptly respond to the department's notice and take necessary steps to rectify the situation. The resolution of this matter will contribute to the overall health of the provincial economy and the rule of law.

希望各银行及时响应该部门的通知，并采取必要措施进行纠正。该事项的解决，有利于全省经济和法治的整体健康发展。
