Featured Karachi’s Saddar – the highest tax-paying market in Pakistan

[Syed1.]

There is not a single difference. Balochistan was better under british. Kashmiri dont want to be part of shitty islamabad.

As long as Takht-e-Lahore is developing and progressing our establishment is happy.


Notice how when PTI initially took over they planned to divert Lahore's funds to other districts in Punjab and the establishment made the Buzdar government so unstable. Since then PTI also realized the game and started focusing on Lahore and now PTI is stable more than ever.


For our establishment every city, district etc is dispensable expect for Lahore.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

down town markets are not exactly ''colonial'' influence, downtown markets have a deep rooted history in south asia,

a tughlaq king has been attributed to the construction of several specialized market places such as spice market etc in Delhi, similar thing can be seen in Karachi for instance cloth market, electronics market etc.

The names, bud. We are discussing the root behind naming these markets "Sadar Bazaar". Correct me if I'm wrong on that regard. Btw, many of these "Sadar Bazaar's" are not located anywhere near the downtown.

What about other business activities? Importers exporters manufacturers services providers ?

Makes sense, for service based businesses. Importers, exporters, and manufacturers would be counted under traders, wholesalers, and retailers by definition? That is what they do with the imported, exported, and manufactured goods.

Oh my god and people wonder why jokers like altaf come into power so easily... Establishment needs to change its thinking and use its unchecked power to fix its fkin source of income and pick up terrorists and traitors instead of kidnapping jokers like matiullah.

The names, bud. We are discussing the root behind naming these markets "Sadar Bazaar". Correct me if I'm wrong on that regard. Btw, many of these "Sadad Bazaar's" are not located anywhere near the downtown.

neither saddar nor bazaar are english names, most probably preceeded colonialism.

Most probably. Maybe from the Mughal era.

ps: "Bazar" was imported into English from Persian, just like in Urdu and Hindi.


Let's not go any further off topic.

No its not. In fbr retailer whole seller and trader is a separate designated category having separate tax schemes and separate tax rates.tax is paid based on sales revenue rather than on profit.
Importers are totaly different as tax deducted at import stage and in terms of tax language they are known as commercial importer.

Kindly note that list and terminologies u r mentioning is not english language of income tax ordinance each of them separate definition and specific scope.

All tax professionals knows this.

Again i would suggest we Should refrain from passing judgemental statements on the subjects we dont know about.

This is a stereotype, N has destroyed Lahore. All development was only for show. It is easy to blame Lahore, but actually the problem is in Sindh and Karachi itself.

If you want to see cleaning than you need to go either to Islamabad or Lahore.
We don't deserve that.
I often think, what difference will it make for us if India takes over Pakistan?
Ghulam hain, Ghulam rahaingy.

Poor comparisons. Those cities have slums also. There is abject poverty too.

All of Pakistan needs improvement, but I agree that Karachi has been cheated.

Let us not let our pessimism to commit treason and fall into enemy propaganda.

Karachi has the largest number of filers and understandably the largest tax revenue, this is unfair.

Something needs to be done about this. Karachi should look like a first class city.

Today I read a Turkish firm will build metro rail in Karachi, sounds good.

Karachi is the economic hub of the country. This is a travesty of justice.

Its not pessimism. Military zardari shareef alliance looting this nation, destroying karachi, killing people. This is a fact. They are fooling nation but not me.

Would not the tax professionals also know that tax paid on imports/exports as duties and sales tax is not counted under income tax? Which is what the report is providing?

Again i would suggest we Should refrain from passing judgemental statements on the subjects we dont know about.

I would suggest we first learn the etiquette of discussion and refrain from childish attempts at ad hominem. It is better suited in elementary school. So, if you instead choose to provide counter-arguments, I'd be more than happy to correct myself.

@The Accountant read page 13 and 14 of this document. City wise tax collection. Karachi tax collection is close to 400 billion and Lahore close to 200 billion. Jitna ziada PDF pa kehtay Hain itna tax nhi ha

These figures are for income tax. Those 50%, 60%, and 70% claims stem from the total revenue collected by the FBR from Karachi. Income tax makes up a small fraction of the total revenue collected, not just in Karachi but the entire country.

For understanding the reality behind that particular claim please read here.

Brother this is income tax only. U r ignoring sales tax custom duty services tax excise duty and other taxes. Income tax is lower than sales tax.

However, i agree the tax paid by karachi is not as high as claimed by mqm or pdf but it is much higher than the share of development expenditure returned back or karachi deserve.

Realaity lies something in between...

I guess no one would disagree karachi needs alot more investment then it is currently getting.
