Taxation base broadened

Long awaited decision only imran could do…Data of account holders above threshold of rs 500,000 to be examined by sbp…Data source state bank of pakistan …Data of all industrial and commercial power connections will be explored for tax returns…Data source…Discos …Information of all owners and tenants living in houses of 2 kanal and above will be examined for taxation…Date sources…Registration authorities, societies, dhas, development authorities. …Information of all personal owning vehicles above 2400cc will be examined objectively…Data source…Motor vehicle registration authorities, car manufacturers, car importers. …Information about frequent travellers to be analyzed…Data source…Fia/nadra.

I really feel being some experience of IT that its very easy and do able to track the real tax potential. Only thing we lack is the WILL and the WHALES, which impairs us to do so.

Latest is (as heard) that SBP has refused to shared any of the account holder's data with FBR (needing double check).

FBR is a bunch of incompetent lot that knows only 1 way, i.e., threatening and making worst out of any situation.

Its the big fishes that matter, working class already pays each possible paisa in the name of Income to sales/product/goods tax on each single entity being utilised without any notable incentive in return.

Most important factor hampering tax collection is Trust Deficit between Citizen and the State. Big fished were, are, and will in foreseeable future remain untouched.

Double roger!!!
But someone has to start correcting!
Yes currupt mafia is everywhere but it does not mean good stress must not be taken, Imtiaz sb,
Someone has to lay the first stone ...
What Imran is doing is the first stone!
Ler us pray and praise his initiative which no one was able or brave enough to do?????

Yes, for sure, agreed! Leadership matters and it starts from the top.

Just Check the tax paid for Jaati Umrah, Bilawal House and Bani Gala Property. Isnt that a tragedy to this nation?

These guys did mention their USD and GBP accounts in nomination papers.


Until such change triggers from the top, results will be disappointing, unfortunately.

No disagreement sir!
They must pay the taxes of the properties, they own.
If bani gala tax is not paid then it is a breach of the Law but if that is the case, why N and Z not crying ?
This could be the best bet against IK?
Yes court has legalized IK property but still no one is making a point?
I do not know but may be IK has paid the tax?

Why N and Z not crying ?

Sir they are all stakeholders of same power corrupt system. Mutual benefits remain same. They will blame each other publically but in private they are the insurance policies of each other!!

Amount they pay is somehow like 500 PKR for Kanal+ land with construction on.

As far as BaniGala Residence, its not cleared yet

Different rules for different classes!
----------
MNAs/MPAs were and are receiving subsidized/free residences, electricity, gas, allowances etc. when the nation is at brink of highest inflation and an austerity budget.

IK, NS, AZ never point of discussion but they do represent big fishes that must come into the net before anyone else. Hoping for more robust discussion! So far it's

Poor Subsidizing the Rich!

No one keeps their black or ill-gotten money in the banks. So going after account holders is the most ineffective thing new chairman could propose.


This will further penalize honest citizens with clean money much more than those culprits they are looking for.

Agreed we all will face the heat some how but someone needs to start from some where.

These are all tough decisions which are making IK a disliked person each day because as a nation we never thought to pay even electricity bill properly now someone asking Tax.

But in long run good for the country to stand on its feet.

JDM sb, accounts are there but benami. You are right but effect will be there if make the ill system start working, even if succeeded 40-50 % will be effective. Guber is a smart brain behind.
