1st i commend Pakistani Goverment atleast they are trying but problem is they are going too hard on everything and Pakistani already pay high amount of taxes indirectly majority of this will hit low to middle class which could have been created as the Backbone of Pakistani Economy

One thing i find really strange is any sane person with little understanding of money will understand that Majority of trade in Pakistan happens through Cash which is easier for people to hide.
A simple solution why dont they give 1 year notice to Banks to build Cash Less infrastucutre and force them to setup Contact less and Smarter Machines on every store.
Ban Every note higher than 50 RS and dont print any note higher than RS 50 1st 2 years will be really hard but it will boost economy much higher than all these shenanigans they are currently doing

If you're going to address the problem then you have to do it full on, you can't do it in bits, it won't have the desired effect.
It reminds me of the adage that you can't be a little bit pregnant. You're either pregnant or you're not, you can't be in between.
As for your cashless society, do you really think you can turn a country with a with the poverty and literacy levels it has and turn it cashless overnight?
Fine on paper but it would be chaos.

Only God knows with these stranges steps being taken what will be the future but i cant bet you even if Imran Khans stays in Power for next 10 Year i wouldnt see it will bring major change

Now You do need bit of choas it could be postive and negative it depends on the leaders
Biggest issues Pakistan is Facing is Corruption, Bribery , Crimes i m not saying do it tomorrow 1 year is more than enough go hard

With Cashless society it will help crime rate itself when you make harder for people to obtain money.
When Majority of cash flows through your banking system it build up your banks which can use that money for investment.
If Pakistan cancel all the notes bigger than 50 RS how much black currency will become worthless papers
It will help build Pakistani currency as well.
it has soo many long term benefits only 1 major draw back it will hard for people in start ? is it ok to waste pakistani economy just because people are lazy ?
biggest example is Chinese currency how many people use cash

Read the history of Margaret Thatcher's government and how she sorted the British economy out. Hard and unpopular decisions have to be taken, and pain must be inflicted and endured before things will get better. The main thing is the political will to carry it through.

 

[Nilgiri]

When india went for demonetization, was it blanket application for everyone and all or select few sections of the society?

Application on everyone. The pro and con of it was determined in the later elections...long term effects of it can be judged later too.

There is also more targetted approach by income tax dept and benami investigations....in fact using lot of the data generated by the demonetisation effort + GST.

 

[That Guy]

Dear readers, notice how his entire rant is actually just one LONG conjecture, and despite his claims of proving his point, he's done the opposite.

Okay Mr Smarty pants ........ you got my attention. Stop begging for it, I will spare sometime to answer your nonsense



You wish me to reply to this nonsense well I would ...........

So tell me what do you know about Pakistan Taxes? Support your assertion and that ridiculous blanket assumption that Pakistanis don't pay taxes and I will prove to you that even Pakistanis who are not supposed to pay taxes have paid income tax for quite long, and Pakistanis (the elites, the untouchables) including the current Riyasat e medina Caliph haven't paid their fair share of taxes which they should have paid. Even today they are using the same old tools and same old sh*t tax laws to punish the ones which never had a say in any matters of the country.

Prove to me that Pakistanis pay income tax, prove it.

Only 1 percent pay taxes, out of all eligible people...

https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/425729-only-one-percent-pakistanis-pay-taxes-fbr

In 2013, it was even less than 1%


It literally took 2 minutes to find this.

Do you think people who have intentionally evaded taxes don't know how to play with this corrupt inept FBR and its tax collection (the same old system), and they have all their money parked in Pakistan, did you seriously think that this same old FBR with its old tactics and mentality would bring any different results?

What a ridiculous remark. I'm not just talking about the elites who evade taxes through loopholes, I'm talking about the common business man, or worker.

You're changing the subject here.

[QuoteDo you even realise why the tax law in Pakistan is kept so complicated and that too intentionally.[/quote]

Intentional or not, this mean nothings. Reforms are needed to simplify the system, yes, and I've talked about it extensively in the past, but until then, the FBR needs to at least enforce the current system (which it finally is).

FBR officials are good at sending stupid biannual notices to people who are already registered with them. Why because they are given unreasonable targets and they have to earn bonuses by showing their performance.

Conjecture, nothing more.

This government is in a haste, trying to find a quick fix, trying to get different results from the same old tools and means. Had this government used this one year before the budget on fixing leakages in FBR itself, the tax collection would have gone up not because elite who have means and ways to evade taxes would have started paying, but because the ones who already pay their actual contribution would have been reflected honestly and in a more transparent way ......... but no lets go with the same old thing and try getting different results.

This comment proves you yourself have no idea how bureaucracy works. Even if they were to spend that entire year reforming the FBR, taxes wouldn't go up instantly. It takes time for reforms to be implemented properly, sometimes even after the government is out of power.

But again, more conjecture.

[QuoteHow much do the gaddi nasheen like foreign minister and first lady and all her near and dear pay in taxes out of the money they extract from people they have intentionally left and kept illiterate and astray.[/quote]

Once again changing the subject. You've turned this entire thing about the population paying their taxes, into a rant about corruption, and elites not paying their fair share.

Of course the elite aren't paying their fair share, why in the hel do you think I'm excluding elites and the rich from my comment, when I say Pakistanis need to pay taxes?

I am waiting to be enlightened by a proud Canadian who thinks he is an expert on my country's matters.

Because, believe it or not, my family pays property tax in Pakistan.

Also, YOUR country? Other Pakistanis disagree with you, and agree with me. Are you so egotistical to believe that you're the only one qualified enough to talk about Pakistan?

So basically PMA educates the cadets in financial and economic matters now, and along their career progression they keep upgrading on this ........ is this what you are saying Mr. Think Tanky?

The same Army that was okay with IJI, JI, JUI, MQM, and let the country and people suffer 2008 thru 2013 is now okay with PTI full of lotaz. Yep sure their approval means everything to you.

Extension for Raheel Sharif wasn't halal but Bajwa getting another term is halal.

You do realize that officers, especially those who are trained in foreign institutions like west point, are often taught economics, right? They have to be, in order to make more informed decisions within the armed forces, and deal with political ramifications.

It's also nefariously clever of you to ignore why the army tolerated the Zardari government in power, and also mention PTI, but not say anything PMLN, I wonder why? But that's just a side issue.

If you were honest, you'd mention why the army couldn't take action against Zardari but you aren't.

You know you aren't being honest, but you've dug your own hole so deep, that you can't get out.

Once again,you've done nothing but spout a rant, without actually make a point on the actual topic.

On a side note, no army chief should get an extension without the approval of parliament, but that's just my own opinion.

@Oscar

Also, before things get too out of hand here, @waz and @Dubious

 

[I.R.A]

Prove to me that Pakistanis pay income tax, prove it.

Only 1 percent pay taxes, out of all eligible people...

It literally took 2 minutes to find this.

That is why it is best not to become think tanky in the area that is beyond your understanding and expertise.

Mr. genius instead reading articles download Income Tax Ordinance applicable in Pakistan, go to sections 115, 116, 149, 153, 155, 231A, 231AAA, 231B, 234, 235, 236,236B, 236I read them carefully and then come back and tell Pakistanis that they don't pay income tax.

And while you are at it open Part VII (Exemptions and tax concessions) and read section 41 "Agriculture income. Now search last three tax returns of IK and tell me why his major income is appearing as agriculture income in those returns ....... why he used the loopholes is law to escape paying his fair share of taxes?

I asked you what do you know about Pakistan taxes? And your reply is an article saying 1% Pakistanis pay tax. I have given you section references to the bare act .... I hope you have enough competence to read and comprehend them and understand that nobody in Pakistan who (now) has annual income of PKR 600K or below should be made to pay any income tax (these people are not required to file their income tax returns as well) ...... but governments in Pakistan kept making them pay income tax to national exchequer ......... that money should have been refunded back to these people ....... but it never happened, so it is easier for FBR to hide its own incompetence / corruption, so the easy escape for them .... only 1% pay tax, whereas the withholding provisions in law don't spare anyone.

Because, believe it or not, my family pays property tax in Pakistan.

Also, YOUR country? Other Pakistanis disagree with you, and agree with me. Are you so egotistical to believe that you're the only one qualified enough to talk about Pakistan?

I have nothing against your family, good if they pay property tax ....... but that property tax doesn't go to FBR, it goes to local TMA, CDA etc. ..... and paying property tax doesn't make anyone a tax payer in Pakistan ........

I am not fighting a case of PDF Pakistanis with you, my fight is for the people this government is killing economically.

You mister tried comparing your first world problems with problems of people living in a third world country, which not only was dishonest misrepresentation but a hypocritical act. It is nothing different than patwaris and few indians who start comparing Pakistan to Zimbabwe and Venezuela.


Edit: Plus this government hasn't taken any revolutionary steps, they just did a quick fix to buy a life line. Pakistan has been announcing amnesties since 1960s, only 100K or so people opted for amnesty announced by this government (out of millions) .... so if IK had a thinking brain he would ask FBR about that 1% statistics ....... if that is 1% then how come only 100K out of 99% opted for amnesty only.

Application on everyone. The pro and con of it was determined in the later elections...long term effects of it can be judged later too.

There is also more targetted approach by income tax dept and benami investigations....in fact using lot of the data generated by the demonetisation effort + GST.

Application on everyone, probably the reason why opposition failed in garnering support from masses against policies of modi's government. Had it been amnesties offered to rich and tax evaders and commoners made to face the demonetization .... what could have been the outcome?

 

[Nilgiri]

Its a good question. Amnesties probably would not go down well....because you are not punishing the crime of the action in first place. Besides, things of this nature already happen internally through benami (which need its own approach to tackle) or round tipping investment chains (which helps the country since the money surfaces in the end - so not a high priority to investigate).

Selective demonetisation on just the common people would have created an open revolt likely because it would make no sense other than waste time and make ppl lose wages waiting in line...since the supposed benefits are not even there in first place (which needs whole population to participate to leave the requisite paper trails for later long term analysis).

But again this all has to be analysed and given verdict by the people of each country in both immediate elections for short term results/promises and later elections for longer term ones. Priorities and perspectives vary.

You are right that even without direct immediate results, people do also judge on intent as well. I.K govt maybe should indeed go for more concrete policy action rather than only focusing on buying enough buffer (loans, taxes, amnesty) for a proposed "later push"...which may also be harmed by such things as amnesties (since you cannot later charge those and so you lose on the "intent" debate with the public).

But let's see.

 

[That Guy]

Oooh, fun, now I can proceed to actually have a debate, because you actually gave me something you clearly didn't read.

At first, I thought maybe you had a point, and was about to admit that I was wrong, but then I took your advice and actually went through the ordinance.

First of all, yes, laws exist, but they're hardly ever enforced, which is why Pakistan has a very low tax to GDP ration.

That is why it is best not to become think tanky in the area that is beyond your understanding and expertise.

Mr. genius instead reading articles download Income Tax Ordinance applicable in Pakistan, go to sections 115, 116, 149, 153, 155, 231A, 231AAA, 231B, 234, 235, 236,236B, 236I read them carefully and then come back and tell Pakistanis that they don't pay income tax.

So I went ahead and read the ordinance, and section 115and 116 talk about those that do not have to pay taxes, namely people who make less than PKR 200,000 a year, widows, orphans under 25...etc.

Section 149 talks about pay being deducted at the time an employer must pay an employee, but here in lies the problem, no one but the giant corporations actually do this, so you're talking out of your ***.

Sections 153, 154 and 155 mainly deal with imports/exports along with property tax.

Once again, import and export taxes are mainly paid by giant corporations, who actually use EXIM services.

As for property tax, this is a law that's barely ever enforced. This may be anecdotal, but considering my family owns property within Pakistan, this is something I have experience in.

Dont know why you're pointing to section 231, if youre talking about enforcement, than yes, I agree, no enforcement has traditionaly taken place, but that doesn't really address my point. Regardless of enforcement, Pakistanis should realize that taxes should be paid properly.

Section 234 transportation/auto taxes. Once again, since giant corporations are involved, taxes here do tend to be paid. Unless it's a second hand dealer.

Section 235 deals with electricity. Considering this also involved corporations, such as K-electric, taxes are paid here as a part of the bill. Unfortunately, outside of urban cities, people barely pay their Bill's.

236 deals with telephone users, which as I recall only had a tax reinstituted, not added. But usually, once again, involves large corporations.

It's like you didn't even read the code, and simply just looked at the ordinance, and picked the sections which you thought looked good at a glance.

And while you are at it open Part VII (Exemptions and tax concessions) and read section 41 "Agriculture income. Now search last three tax returns of IK and tell me why his major income is appearing as agriculture income in those returns ....... why he used the loopholes is law to escape paying his fair share of taxes?

Page 81, right? I'm not IK, you'd have to ask him.

If he isn't paying his fair share, then he should.

Once again, you're foolishly changing the subject from everyone paying taxes to renting about elites of society, and pretending that I'm not including them for some reason.

I asked you what do you know about Pakistan taxes? And your reply is an article saying 1% Pakistanis pay tax. I have given you section references to the bare act .... I hope you have enough competence to read and comprehend them and understand that nobody in Pakistan who (now) has annual income of PKR 600K or below should be made to pay any income tax (these people are not required to file their income tax returns as well) ...... but governments in Pakistan kept making them pay income tax to national exchequer ......... that money should have been refunded back to these people ....... but it never happened, so it is easier for FBR to hide its own incompetence / corruption, so the easy escape for them .... only 1% pay tax, whereas the withholding provisions in law don't spare anyone.

So, it's pretty clear that you yourself didn't actually read the reference you mentioned.

Nor have you given any figures to present who is and isn't eligible to pay taxes.

I can give you a figure, Pakistan's tax to GDP ratio had the potential to raise to over 20%, yet it is half that (even less, if some figures are to be believed).

That 1% was from people who are ELIGIBLE, not those who are exempt. That figure numbers in the tens of millions.

I have nothing against your family, good if they pay property tax ....... but that property tax doesn't go to FBR, it goes to local TMA, CDA etc. ..... and paying property tax doesn't make anyone a tax payer in Pakistan ........

Regardless, that was an example to try and give some understanding on my part.

I am not fighting a case of PDF Pakistanis with you, my fight is for the people this government is killing economically.

Pakistan would be bankrupt, if this government didn't implement austerity measures. Pakistan's massive debt MUST be paid.

The tolerance of corruption for decades upon decades must be paid in full and well.

This government didn't destroy the economy, it's merely being forced to correct it.

[QuoteYou mister tried comparing your first world problems with problems of people living in a third world country, which not only was dishonest misrepresentation but a hypocritical act. It is nothing different than patwaris and few indians who start comparing Pakistan to Zimbabwe and Venezuela.[/quote]
It is the principle of the matter. Even Canada was once a developing nation.

Instead if attacking the example, look at the principle.

Edit: Plus this government hasn't taken any revolutionary steps, they just did a quick fix to buy a life line. Pakistan has been announcing amnesties since 1960s, only 100K or so people opted for amnesty announced by this government (out of millions) .... so if IK had a thinking brain he would ask FBR about that 1% statistics ....... if that is 1% then how come only 100K out of 99% opted for amnesty only.

Maybe he should.

Also, of course he's not taking revolutionary steps. I have for a long time said that he wouldn't. Why? He can't afford to. The next 3 years are likely going to be spent on fixing the economy, and stopping the artificial growth that was caused by the PMLN government.

Anyone who thought that IK would fix the problems in a year, or that the price for the decades of corruption would never have to be paid is foolish at best.

As a side note, I am fully against giving amnesty to people who hid their wealth in foreign nations, but it seems to have had some amount of success, even if you clearly seem to disagree.

 

[I.R.A]

First of all, yes, laws exist, but they're hardly ever enforced, which is why Pakistan has a very low tax to GDP ration.

For me it would have been more satisfying to teach a kindergarten kid than a Think Tanky of PDF, a tanky who is hell bent on making a point because his own ego has been hurt.

I allowed you a graceful exit but no ....... you have to prove your arrogance and ignorance.

FBR webportal in fact is a very efficient useful tool, it could have made a lot of difference in forcing the FBR to correct its statistics, but sadly this system was entrusted to babuz in FBR.

The only law that gets enforced in Pakistan is Income Tax law, the only law that gets amended / repealed every year .......... so your baseless assumption that law doesn't get enforced is mere hogwash deprived of any research and understanding. You like this current government are disconnected with reality.

So I went ahead and read the ordinance, and section 115and 116 talk about those that do not have to pay taxes, namely people who make less than PKR 200,000 a year, widows, orphans under 25...etc.

You read and you still don't know that taxable limit for salaried class is PKR 600,000 and people who earn 50% more than their salary from other sources is PKR 400,000 ........... not PKR 200,000.

Seriously .............. why you have to make a fool of yourself and lie that you read ....... the taxable limit has remained PKR 400,000 for quite long ....... don't know from where did you pull this PKR 200,000 ........ using your own words "so you are talking out of your rear".

Section 149 talks about pay being deducted at the time an employer must pay an employee, but here in lies the problem, no one but the giant corporations actually do this, so you're talking out of your ***.

Section 149 is where every employer deducts income tax from salary of his taxable employees every month and deposits that tax into government treasury using web portal creating a PSID and latter once that payment goes thru a CPR is generated. And in past the employer had to file a withhold tax statement under section 149 for employees and under section 165 for its vendors. And an annual withholding tax statement as well.

I have no idea what you mean by giant corporations ......... but ask a government employee if he is working for any giant corporation then why his tax also gets deducted at source. e.g. ask @Zibago

Puttar this is my domain, I deal with this everyday, I deal with FBR notices and appeals very frequently .... I know what I am talking about.

The introduction of 149, 153 took the burden off the FBR's shoulders of recovering the tax and put that on the withholding tax agents.

Sections 153, 154 and 155 mainly deal with imports/exports along with property tax.

153 deals with withholding on payments for goods and services .... a very robust section, that can be used to track many business individuals and force them to register and file ........ but no FBR likes to stick with 1% statistics because the day it is revealed they will end up paying huge refunds and account for all that money they have spent on their own ayashi.

Only 154 deals with exports and I didn't even ask you to read this section

Mr. genius instead reading articles download Income Tax Ordinance applicable in Pakistan, go to sections 115, 116, 149, 153, 155, 231A, 231AAA, 231B, 234, 235, 236,236B, 236I read them carefully and then come back and tell Pakistanis that they don't pay income tax.

155 deals with income from property and not property tax ....... genius tanky.

Dont know why you're pointing to section 231, if youre talking about enforcement, than yes, I agree, no enforcement has traditionaly taken place, but that doesn't really address my point. Regardless of enforcement, Pakistanis should realize that taxes should be paid properly.

There is no section 231 in Income tax Ordinance (it was omitted) neither did I point to it ....... genius tanky I told you stop making fool of yourself. I asked you to read

231A that deals with deduction of income tax at source on cash withdrawals from bank .... no one, I repeat no one whether he is taxable or not can escape this deduction

231AA deals with advance (income) tax on transaction in a bank .......... again no one irrespective of whether his income is taxable or not can escape this

231B deals with advance (income) tax on private motors vehicles ...... same thing again no one irrespective of whether his income is taxable or not can escape this

Section 234 transportation/auto taxes. Once again, since giant corporations are involved, taxes here do tend to be paid. Unless it's a second hand dealer.

Mr Think tanky there is no such thing as transportation / auto taxes ......... its all forms of income tax that we are discussing here. Excise office makes sure that income tax from this source gets deducted and paid.

Section 235 deals with electricity. Considering this also involved corporations, such as K-electric, taxes are paid here as a part of the bill. Unfortunately, outside of urban cities, people barely pay their Bill's.

Mr Think Tanky .......... its the end consumers that pay income tax included in their electricity bills, again irrespective of whether they are liable to pay or not. Your new excuse that people barely pay their bills outside urban cities is another master stroke of ignorance.

236 deals with telephone users, which as I recall only had a tax reinstituted, not added. But usually, once again, involves large corporations.

A widow if she uses the telephone an orphan if he uses the telephone, a daily wager if he uses a telephone, anyone including students, pensioners, housewives and people who have an annual income of less than PKR 600,000 end up paying income tax by simply using their cellphones, not once multiple times. That income tax withheld from them should be refunded back to them ......... but it never happens nor it will ever happen.


Now please if you would excuse me I am not interested anymore in engaging with you. You hold Zero credibility for me.

Salama alaik.

No, people voted and every institution is supporting government...People have to face hardship and pay taxes ..Chor awam was not used to pay taxes and now reality is difficult for them

Chor Awam, This is very big allegation you put on whole nation. Do you have valid proof for that? Here President, PM, senate and all assembly members have TAX FREE income and you are pointing whole nation? Even a boy pay sales tax for his or her toffee. Asked PM to make Taxable his salary then pointing out others. He must set example from his self. Also Put Tax on agriculture if he have dare to do that
