Directorate General of Training & Research (IR) is an ace training institution in the realm of taxation and finance. Undoubtedly, success of an organization largely depends on the worth and quality of its human capital. DOT recognizes this fact and therefore, attaches great significance to the training and capacity building of the workforce the serving officers and officials as well as the fresh entrants into service. A well trained and skilled workforce is a prerequisite for enhanced organizational development. Directorate General is continuously reviewing, updating and modernizing its training programs to keep pace with the changes and developments occurring at the national and global level.

Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is aspiring for  a positive change to bring about facilitation for taxpayers, satisfaction of the workforce and an instrument for a self reliant economy to combat the ills of retarded growth, rampant poverty and low tax to GDP ratio. In this scenario, FBR reflects a silver lining struggling to make a difference. Each and every individual in the organization can make this difference provided there is a passion to do so. This inspiration keeps us going to cope with the future needs of FBR. Continuity and perseverance must be adhered to achieve success and stability.

I would like the trainees at DOT to make optimum use of training facilities and amenities available at DOT to fully equip themselves with requisite skills essential for a successful and meaningful career in tax management and administration. Focus on achieving excellence in the field of public finance and taxation is the hall mark of trainings conducted at DOT. Simultaneously and equally research activity is also of paramount importance. It provides a very potent, effective and useful backup to support and maintain an ideal level of professionalism and administrative expertise integrally related to their professional pursuits. Moreover, in today's world progress and development in every field of life is heavily dependent on the research activity being carried out in diverse areas. We must all understand and realize the momentous task that lies ahead. Therefore my advice to FBR’s workforce is that they must come up to the expectations and fully align themselves with the vision and mission of the FBR.
