today in tribune....I don't have bias. If the News was read "Economic indicators reflect a great show"... I would have tried even then to post that with pride. in your post i was quoted that's why i responded.
They said the PC would tell the premier about the real economic performance, particularly on FBR’s original tax target of Rs2.475 trillion. The FBR is going to miss the target and has so far achieved 16% growth in revenues against the required 28% growth.
In its working paper for NEC, PC questioned the reality of 16% growth. “After adjusting for nominal GDP growth of 11.5% and tax measures including increasing GST from 16% to 17%, withdrawal of some tax exemptions, enhancing excise duty rates, the figures reflect a marginally positive real growth in tax revenues”, it added.
The working paper also highlights soaring current expenditures and risks to economic growth in the next fiscal year.......
Govt is now itself accepting that no real increase in taxation actually occurred. In short performance in taxation has been disastrous .
