New taxes expected in coming budget

[AZ1]

You may forward your suggestion to IK or relevant authorities to make filing for wife and dependent adults who don't earn easy. But it's strange that being head of family, you can't do few clicks for your wife.

If I had access to IK than I would have rather asked him to link existing data with return filing so that I wouldn't have ask banks to provide me balances as of 30th June, or details of my withholding tax deducted, or taxes deposited. These things should come automatically by linking data which state already have. And for poor and uneducated class, provide way to help them in filing returns.

Thing is with this fbr system is that salary person who earn 30-40k a month has to go through all this while other tabdoor wala earn 30-40k same earning per month dont have to go through or dont even bother.

Then how come it is just with all?

I personally know a pakoray wala came in my area who himself said he made two houses just by selling pakora.

I think rather than this income tax, they should put 2% on electricity bill or so.

I dont know how it can be true that 1% is tax filer and they are running the country??

While 99% are non filer and paying extra taxes on everything as compare to filer so by this, 99% running the country and not 1%.

When a salary wala (who can't evade tax as it's deducted at source) don't file return then on what moral grounds he can ask tandoor wala to do so? Do, your part first - be proud over it, bash, shame and criticize others not doing so.

But fbr is asking everyone to be file tax return now.

Actually i see benefit of filing tax return and become filer rather than non filer. Yet ppl dont filing the tax return why?


And asking to tandor wala is not my job. Provide justice to everyone is not my job either but asking govt to provide me justice us my right?

Dude - It's very simple. Our government must end exemption of tax filing for people earning less than taxable income, it's simply flawed and door to evade tax. And when people are filing returns then it will be simple and straightforward for state to question people whose lifestyle and assets are contrary to declared incomes. For very same reason, I always promote tax filing specially the lower class as it's them the tax evaders use as canon fodders.

You didn't get the point, it ain't abt few clicks, it's abt hidden assets in the name of spouse.

Bureaucracy won't let you do this and imran khan is not powerful enough to take on the elitists.

This is a big LOL, who is the stupid who proposed this?

There are millions of users who have mobile phone connections who don't fall under the tax net due to low income. ----

Sirji, no offense but do you know how tax filing works? Did you ever filed it?

jo bhi hy 10% FED on local cars should be removed for 1700+ cc cars!! its killing the local market

Yes yes same old thing, everyone want their favorite item to be exempted.

IMO it should be increased further, and gasoline prices should be increased to bring them to the level of other countries. Currently gas price in Pakistan is just 0.67$, while oil rich KSA has 0.57$, US at 0.71$, India 1.07$, China 1.03$.

Now u and me on same page. Rules should be same for all as simple as that or just have 2% on electricity bill to every house.

In our electricity bill there is column as

AIT - Advance Income Tax and all are paying that already so they can do this for tax income. It will generate fast money for govt and.no one will be tax evador. Peoplw try to avoid tax all the time in all over the world be it USA taxi driver or who work on cash.

Normal man in pakistan dont bother to do all this thing and there is serious lack of trust in govt institute. Police, court, govt, fbr etc.

Well, Do people of Pakistan do follow anything voluntarily? No, they even don't wear helmets and seatbelts meant t save their own lives, when they are fined for this they start crying. Hence, I support government taking any tough measures to make them file returns, I have even suggested to make tax return of last 3 years mandatory to earn entitlement of vote.

And asking to tandor wala is not my job. Provide justice to everyone is not my job either but asking govt to provide me justice us my right?

Well, I being taxpayer and filer defiantly want Tandoor wala, xyz wala file return and pay tax if they are earnings fall in taxable income. But as we are minority (Even on PDF as there are lot more who try to justify these xyz walas not filing returns despite earning more than many salaried persons just because they are uneducated) so voices are unheard, if even salaried person start filing returns than their voice will gain lot more weight.

 

[American Pakistani]

Hmmm Yes, why?

Filing taxes does not mean you have to pay it if your income is low. Poor low income people must file taxes along with rest of Pakistanis.

IMO this move of govt will encourage everyone to be part of system, less opportunities for corruption or black money, will help pinpoint those involved in criminal activities or terrorism. I don't see a downside of this move by govt.

Half of the current tax filer are already salary person
Like out of 20lac we have more than 10 lac as salary person, then some percent as females and remaining is business import/export mandatory to be registered their company by chamber of commerce otherwise they wouldnt register.

I think you don't know the law, they are under no obligation to file a return. --- Poor filing or not filing makes no difference, the difference is the elite+ mafias --- I think all you who are after poors to file returns must change your priorities and campaign for elites to file return and pay taxes.

And you are not getting point. Law should be same for all doesn't matter you are rich or poor, illiterate or PHD. There shouldn't be any exception like in case of filing returns you want exemptions for housewives, uneducated and poor. Same way penalty for not filing returns should be for all irrespective of their social status, education or gender. When you make exception, you open backdoors.
