FBR to launch crackdown against Karachi beauty parlours

There are no beauties in Karachi.



Will they spend Eid in Jail?



Karachi is mini-Pakistan with all communities of Pakistan adequately represented. If there are no beauties in Karachi then there are no beauties in Pakistan.


Don't run mouth and never forget your auqaat.
 
So you should wear glasses.
See, Karachi has beauty from all parts of Pakistan. If you were unable to find beauty in Karachi then you should stop looking for beauty, and hug a cactus.

i did. thats why i keep telling people to do that too
 
FBR can try but why would these business pay taxes when there are no consequences for not doing so? The FBR can't do much more than freeze their bank accounts. These are cash businesses so they won't care.

c) Customers should have Bank Account and Debit Card

We have the lowest financial penetration rates in the world i.e. very few people in Pakistan have bank accounts. Also debit card usage is not free so businesses prefer cash. Cash also allows you to evade taxes.

a) Ask Businesses to register

Why would businesses sign up to give the government free money? What's in it for them? There are just two benefits to living in Pakistan. The low cost of living and the fact that it is a tax haven in all but name. If you start charging taxes a lot of businessmen will simply move to another country.
 
Perhaps that the beauty saloons making lot of profits there hence got attention of FBR?

On a serious note, What about doctors earning a lot from their private practices, commissions from pharmaceutical companies and laboratories?

the loot is incredible.

its a consumerist society. do the maths yourself man.

they should tax smartly but then again its more about turning black money white than actual Business of it.

its just alladeen news for everyone
 
Should be simple

a) Ask Businesses to register
b) Rent a Debit Machine from Bank
c) Customers should have Bank Account and Debit Card
d) Charge for Services + Tips by Machine

It will solve Tax evasion from all Sectors

>Resturants
>Grocery Chains
>Grocery Markets

Should be first Target

Or simply discontinue the currency notes over PAR 100 and charge 10% tax on cash withdrawal and deposit of more than 15000 in a month. People earning minimum wage can continue using cash if they want but all others will be forced to do digital transactions.

hahah you have it backwards man! People don't need the government's currency. It is the government that profits from people using its currency. If you make it hard to transact in PKR people will switch to dollars, bitcoin, gold or other forms of money. They might even start issuing their own money.

By all accounts demonetization was terrible for india so don't tell our people to do that same. It would be financial suicide!

Yes and that will mean open rebellion against the state and they will be treated as a traitor.
 
GoP doesn't have the capacity to enforce the law in Pakistan so good luck with that.

Thanks for the wish and as for capacity, we all know how the state did a clean up of the vast part of the country from terrorists and mafias.
 
All this for show by FBR Karachi region. They know major restructuring is coming so this shahbazi is on.

I am not sure it's sarcasm or you really have no idea how things work in world. First of people do need state's currency as it's standard and acceptable across country, have state's backing and oversight on it, doesn't matter who is in government the state's instrument remains trustworthy over any alternative. Standard currency ease transactions and exchange for people, So state is actually facilitating people by providing instrument which is acceptable by everyone for goods and services.

It's foolish to think that people can switch to dollars, gold or any currency other than national currency because first of all availability of enough foreign currency to support economic activity (Whatever foreign currency is available it's in form of bigger denomination, If you want to check it than go to any exchange market of Pakistan, try to buy 1 dollar notes and coins, comeback and tell us how many you can find), same way we don't have enough gold to use it as alternative furthermore whom you will complain for counter fit dollars if you are using it to ditch state's currency, Mr. Trump? Who will issue and ensure the standard size of gold coins, purity of gold in today's world when even milk and eggs can be fake? Bitcoin is there for some time, tell me other than deep web, black market or trading bitcoin as kind of stock by some people what's share of bitcoins in regular trade? And how you will buy initial dollars, gold, bitcoins etc? Bitcoin is there because countries are overlooking it, otherwise it will not take even few days if the states of world decide to close it.

People issuing own currencies? really? I don't think even own kids will accept currency they issue as pocket money let alone others accepting it.

You are confusing power of state with government, governments can be formed by incapable and corrupt people looking for self interests hence weak but the state is quite powerful - look how despite all crying and winning people pay indirect taxes which state impose, that's power of state, we only need people with will at charge.

By all accounts demonetization was terrible for india so don't tell our people to do that same. It would be financial suicide!

Looks like you didn't understand what I wrote that's why trying to compare orange with banana.

Abrupt currency note changing exercise =/= Discontinuing higher denomination currency notes permanently. And we don't need to do it Modi way whose attention was to punch ATMs of opponents not eliminating cash otherwise he wouldn't have replaced 1000 note with 2000 as higher currency notes make cash hording and big cash transactions easier. We should first prepare grounds (i.e. 6 months - 1 year periods) - give tax rebates for 5 years to telecom companies who extend their 4g coverage across Pakistan within target period, ask them to issue data sims for payment terminals (No calling facility, just data that also restricted to payment gateways only). Allow import of payment terminals without zero tax and duties (even subsidize it if needed) for same period to make the devices affordable for small shops (better will be if banks provide these devices on minor rent, give incentives to bank for doing so), make regulation to make it obligation of consumer banks to open free of charge bank account with no minimum balance requirement, regulate payment terminal service charges. Digitalize the prize bonds, Print exchange notes of 5000, 10000, 50000, 1000000 which should be used by banks only for interbank settlements and state bank should keep track of movement, print enough smaller denomination notes and make them available to . In short first ensure that alternative is ready than announce discontinuation of 500, 1000, 5000 and ask people to deposit them into their bank accounts (open one if they haven't done it already) - max cash in smaller currency they should be able to get in exchange should be 50,000 to cover next couple of weeks expenses during transition period. It surely will be financial suicide for corrupts and criminals but not for countries, lots of things can be done to ensure minimal trouble in transition provided someone honestly want to do it.

the loot is incredible.

Well, We are people who invented proverb of "100 Jootay, 100 Piaz khana" and that's what our society is in general. People will not be ready to pay 10% direct tax (which will be more for state in term of value as it will directly go into state's kitty) but will take bamboo of accumulated 30-35% indirect taxes where most of it go into pocket of crooks.
