PM’s tax amnesty scheme fails to attract people

[Syed1.]

Well IK did warn that they will start confiscating bank accounts and property. Time is running out for the looters and plunderers. I can't wait for the media and khooni liberals to wet their diapers.

Pakistanis only understand the stick. Start taking peoples peoets over like houses, cars, and Jewellery.... Like they do to Tax defaulters here in the WEST.

Pakistani neo-LibTurds scum like to be like Western then treat them like them.

Difference being that Pakistani tax officials and policemen are easily bought off. So they won't hurt a fly. They will just pocket their bribes and go away.

Another difference is that unlike in the west we don't get basic services in exchange for the taxes we pay. For example reliable water and electricity supply, public transport, health and educational services, sanitation services and law enforcement. Non of these things are present in Pakistan so why should we pay taxes? So that it can be wasted on imported weapons? Because that's all they do with it! Debt and defence spending are the top two heads in the budget.

Amnesty schemes have always failed

after the amnesty ends the gloves have to come off. you have to enforce the laws. it is easier said than done

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Good for IK!! Take it or lose it...

 

[Chhatrapati]

Next will be a note ban. I see a pattern here.

Can anyone explain how PTI scheme works? From what I know they cannot allow black money earned through illegal means being turned in to white just by declaration of assets. Otherwise imagine drug dealers, smugglers, criminals etc

In that case now its time for PTI to go after all those who own lavish properties in big cities but cannot show source of income. Starting with Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. After that move to smaller cities.

These things are present in Pakistan, what the f are you talking about? Why are you comparing them with western standard when even village in UK likely pay more tax then big cities of Pakistan.

people dont think the govt is serious..lets see whether they are or not..i am also skeptical..IK is losing credibility fast on back of lack of tax reforms..though not an easy job and highly un popular but that is what ws suppose to make him different from other politicians

massive refroms are needed in payment system as well i hope fawad chaudry does come up with something

According to news they have put 4000 people behind bars for electricity theft. Now for tax evasion punishment should be even more severe but I doubt it.

To made this campaign a success - IK should announce that legitimate volunteers will be guest of PM at PM house for specific time and will be served cup of tea with 'tikki pack' biscuits. The cost of tea + biscuits will be charged to the guests. I am sure the event will be a success.
If appropriate could I have the catering contract for that specific event? In case my suggestion approved.

I am not so sure 250 is the correct figure for individuals availing amnesty I think its in 4 figures.

People have no idea whats coming,I think the best law enforcement agent would the one who has seen the other side because he is the one who knows intricacies of other side the loopholes, the dark corners, in that respect I think Shabbar is the most dangerous chairman FBR in the last 70 years of so, because he has spent his professional life as Tax advisor he knows the other side, the loopholes and how to plug them.

For the first time in history FBR has received bank account details of all accounts have a turnover of over 5 million, the autos purchased and registered reconciled through auto manufacturers and revenue vehicle registration authorities, and they are very seriously working towards the same in real estate. Under invoicing / over invoicing is already being addressed why I keep referring to FATF as double edged swords. Serious money laundering was being done through import/exports under/over invoicing particularly china now under new setup their export data/prices are now available to pakistan tax authorities, you know where it is going. A nightmare for tax evaders.

if thats the case then yes, if few business men/women are thrown under the bus just so that the remaining spinless leaches will fell inline, then I've got no problem

FBR need to start name and shame scheme . I have a sketch for that.

Publish on frint page if top 3 newspapers, names of top 10 person/organizations the first day . Their transactions details, foreign trips , how many (and cost) cars, house pruce etc with a relatively large picture of the owner.

Next day do the same for top 11-20 . And go on...

Aap na tax dia hai?

citing the state of affairs in Pakistan, mera number bohhhtttttt baad ana hy. Still, i am here to help the state and you raising objections on my credibility ? Good try

On your question, Yes. Whatever i own till this day, i pay tax on.

Now, do i have to prove it here ? If thats the case, then “measure the path”
