Job description

Background

RevenueMobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) is a 7-year UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)’s program implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI). REMIT provides technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan— supporting revenue mobilisation, improving the investment climate, facilitating trade, and strengthening macroeconomic policy and management to enable higher, sustained growth and job creation.

REMIT has prioritised the development of comprehensive procedural manuals that can provide clear guidelines for the execution of tax law & procedure. These guidelines cover crucial FBR processes such as processing and issuance of refunds, processing and issuance of exemption certificates, conduct of audit and assessments, calculation and recovery of advance tax, on‑field inspections and record impounding, investigative audits, monitoring of sales at business premises, and arrest and prosecution proceedings.

Given FBR’s increasing focus on digital transformation and e‑governance, certain components of these manuals need to be formatted, digitised, and optimised for web display which can be incorporated into FBR’s website and internal portals/systems of the regulatory body.

Job Summary

The expert for this activity will be responsible for formatting of the complex text for publication and digitising specific sections for web-based use. This includes converting content into website‑friendly formats (HTML‑ready structures), creating digital assets (tables, flows, clickable elements), standardising layouts, and preparing all materials to be uploaded onto FBR’s official website and internal portals/systems. The expert would ensure that the content will be in‑line with the Figma design of FBR website.
