So if IK would come to power, then the taxes will be removed? He doesn't have corrupted people? He'll bring angels from Heaven to be the members of assemble? All thugs, criminals and all, that have become a part of his party, will be kicked out and replaced by Angels? And Mrs. Khan would be the Angel number 1 with protocol of a minister when she's a British Citizen????? You know how much tax is wasted on her protocol?????

Corporate Tax in EVERY country starts from 20-25% and goes high. Corporate always pay the LOWEST tax as they continue to spend the money into businesses called a "Capital Expense" so you avoid taxes. You are treating me like I don't know this stuff lol!!! Pakistan can never get closer to the taxes you pay in UK. Since you mentioned corporate tax, tells me you come from that background....so you should be paying minimal taxes as there are so many write-offs to do for you due to capital investments. If you can't use your system correctly and benefit from it, who's to blame? Get a better CPA, pay your share of taxes, save where you can....

I'm not blindly pro-PTI......If I have any/some support for them it's because they seem to be able to spend the tax money better....that's all. Other wise, they're equally socialistic in nature with their respect to ZA Bhutto etc...

Not every country. Pakistan has amongst the highest corporate taxes amongst developing countries. Compare rates with eastern europe, central asian states, russia, rest of south asia, arab countries....Pakistan has higher than most of them...And direct jump from 25% to 33 % with nothing in between. This anomaly has been there for a long time now with no action taken to fix it....

As far as I know, capital expenses are also taxed. As in, the profit calculated for tax purposes does not allow capital expense to be reduced from profits. Or in other words, capital expenditure is not an allowed expense for the calculation of profits for tax purpose. Capital expenditure always goes to assets in all international accounting standards, including US GAAP if I'm not wrong. Unless it's on scientific research, that goes to expenses unless a valuable asset is produced from it.

This is perfectly OK. This is the airport use tax that you guys still pay when you come to the US and the UK. Its built into the ticket. If they want to form it separately, that's fine too. I travel on a Visa to Pakistan so I am even ok with paying 3000 rupees as a foreigner. All this money is being used to get you out of the IMF and the begging that other countries call Pakistanis out for. Its time for Pakistan to stand on its feet.

Remember, people in Pakistan have become BILLIONAIRES without paying taxes, and that includes your NS's Zardari's and millions of other families doing business. For example, If a family has made 5 million rupees through not paying taxes over years. I think as a Pakistani, as a courtesy, they should declare all assets and pay a penalty the first time to hide all that. They'll get their assets legal and they'll become part of the tax net.

I would like to see Pakistan's saving's account having $ 25 billion dollars worth of cash reserves by 2018. And these taxes are ok. No one travels to Pakistan if they can't afford an extra $ 20-30 dollars man. Let it go and see the BIG benefits ahead for your country!!! Support the system and grow the country. This bit*ching and moaning doesn't suit a growing nation anymore. End these differences!!!

With each passing day I am beginning to think you really do have some relative or someone affiliated with N-league.

Or maybe you are just trolling deliberately.

UK Definitely has highest taxation and Pakistan is following UK foot steps in taxation. But Four things which are different between UK & Pakistan..

1) Justice in Taxation. Middle class paying highest taxes and those who can avoid it by pass it by criminal means thrives, and Government is not doing anything for such criminal acts. This imbalance is creating hatred among people, classes and alll that hatred then end up on Government.
2) No record of where and how these tax money is being spend. Corruption makes people to run away from taxes. So upper and lower class run away ... And load then end up on middle class
3) Government encouraging indirect taxes, which again increasing injustice in tax collection.

4) Last not the least, In UK, your education, medical, job allowance, tax adjustment makes it more attractive peopl to pay taxes. Which is not the case for Pakistan.

You are right on all accounts. BUT there is another major difference. In the UK not just the parliament, but even the Royal family is open to criticism, and accountability, to which both usually respond to positively. Whereas is in Pakistan, the Royal Families although elected by the people, work against the people, and don't let any opportunity to bleed the common man go. This is one MAJOR reason why people don't want to pay taxes, i.e. see their hard earned money squandered by the blood sucking politicians!!

There is already a tax on it, called "sewerage tax."

Do you see a proper Sewerage network, sewerage treatment plants, storm water drains & management systems?

10-15$ is not much

See now this is the funny part. POC was introduced at least 10 years ago, if not more. So why didn't you get that, instead of running after visas?

My parents barely travel to Pakistan, once every maybe 5 years. The first time my mother went was in 2002, and again in 2014. NADRA/POC came around and they got that from the offices when they visited.

The point isn't whether NADRA/POC etc is easy to get, it's the izat.

If you're an employee of an Embassy, you're the official ambassador of that nation. Everything you do should show you soft side. It's one thing to be rude to a rude person it's quite another to just be rude to everyone because you'e been in the Consular Section for the past 10 years.

Very naive of you to compare the US to Pakistan. If in the US you pay $100 tax you at least get $60 back in some form, or the other. In Pakistan...................

Mr. there is no airport tax as high as you mentioned... there maybe other charges like fuel surcharge etc.

If you need to compare total extras than still Pakistan is top of the list... total of (failed) security surcharge, fuel surcharge and airport tax, comes around 400$ for an economy ticket from EU.

Can you any where see 250$ airport tax.. as you mentioned earlier?

Mr. believe it or not, Pakistan is heaven for foreign airlines and also for their employees and in parallel a solid source of income to fund corrupt politicians, judiciary, media etc. to counter popularity of army.
