The Federal Board of Revenue has officially earmarked 377.03 million rupees for the purchase of fuel for its extensive vehicle fleet during the fiscal year 2026-2027. This allocation has been detailed in the tax authority’s newly prepared Annual Procurement Plan, which was drafted in strict compliance with the Public Procurement Rules of 2004. According to the document, the procurement of petroleum, oil, and lubricants for vehicles stands as one of the largest recurring operational expenses for the revenue board during the current financial year.
The procurement process will follow the standard procedures laid down by the federal government. The official procurement notice is scheduled for public release on July 20, 2026, with the tentative contract award expected by August 20, 2026. The entire supply operation is targeted for completion by June 30, 2027. In addition to the vehicle fleet allocation, the procurement plan has set aside another 17 million rupees for petroleum, oil, and lubricants to power back-up generators, pushing the total planned fuel expenditure of the tax authority to approximately 394 million rupees for the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Beyond fuel procurement, the annual plan details several other essential operational expenditures required to sustain the revenue board’s nationwide tax administration and enforcement capabilities. For the preservation and up-gradation of physical infrastructure, the board has designated 68.75 million rupees specifically for the repair and maintenance of its various office buildings across the country. Additionally, 36.3 million rupees has been set aside for the smooth operation and management of storage facilities.
The technological and administrative machinery supporting the tax system also receives significant funding under the new plan. The board has allocated 26 million rupees for the physical repair of machinery and equipment, alongside 25 million rupees earmarked for miscellaneous general procurements. To maintain daily office workflows, 20.2 million rupees has been allocated for computer stationery, complemented by 19.53 million rupees for standard office stationery. Recognizing the importance of international cooperation in tax matters, the board has also set aside 12.5 million rupees to facilitate visits by foreign delegations.
The comprehensive procurement schedule outlines additional allocations to cover various administrative necessities. These include funds dedicated to purchasing uniforms and protective gear for field staff, managing regular vehicle maintenance and repairs, keeping up furniture and fixtures, hiring secure courier services, transporting goods, fixing IT hardware, and producing official office publications.
The majority of the tender invitations are scheduled to be launched during July and August 2026, with individual procurement activities running continuously through the financial year until their scheduled conclusion in June 2027. The revenue authority confirmed that the entire roadmap has been meticulously prepared on the basis of approved budgetary allocations, ensuring that all planned acquisitions of goods and services directly support its core operational, administrative, and tax collection targets.
