Tax Filers Crosses The Figure Of 2 Million For The First Time

[Syed1.]

Great progress. PTI Government can only be applauded for this achievement.

If it increases by another million within a year, I would say PTI Government is on the right path.

Aj samad bond soong li hai kya?



People don't mind criticism if the person criticizing is neutral and also appreciates the things done right, like you just did.

it is mostly the salaried people who were not filing tax returns earlier while the tax has been deducted......i dont understand what good this will bring to our economy when the tax has already been deducted its just that they are filing the tax return now.

thing is how & when this small business and shops who are earning in millions but never declare it, comes under tax?

Small shops don't earn millions.
You totally skipped the service sector,.doctors/lawyers??

A clean govt. with integrity was all that was required to end the people trust deficit.

Why is it that Pakistanis pays the highest charity in the world and pays the lowest tax in the world, with lower tax to GDP ratio than almost all the countries...the answer is trust deficit on the previous govt...this is one of the biggest success of PM IK...in coming year. It is now 2.2 million actually aiming for 4 million in two years.

This ignorance baffles me.--- Why, I mean why you guys make comments like these without the required knowledge?

Importing and not paying income tax, how is this possible?

Anybody importing pays:
Custom duty
Sales tax 17%
Regulatory duty
Additional sales tax 3%
Additional custom duty
Income Tax
(in monthly sales tax return, further 3%)

Without paying these, he can't get his container out of the port.

I specifically said income tax and you have to mentioned and cry all the taxes. Why do such business when you have so much problem with such business? Who pays sales tax? and all these trader add every bit of tax and collect it from client that's why they are running the business. Why do you think they are paying all these from their own pocket and will not charge client on products? you made it look like they are giving taxes from their own and having no profit in the end at all.

Since you have knowledge please do enlighten me how many traders are register with fbr and give income taxes?

fbr is moving in right direction.It is major achievement of this govt in first year.Next year requires govt to spend amount raised through taxes on public welfare like education,health and provision of basic infrastructure

govt has made requirement for importers to write retail price at the time of import on products package this time so that these traders not pass taxes charged on their own income but it is not certain whether this policy can be implemented and become successful to stop traders from passing their taxes to end customers

I hope by the end of the term the tax net is spread wide enough to allow for a reduction in indirect taxation.

I'd ideally like to see a Pakistan with no taxation on uncooked food, childrens clothes/shoes, energy from renewable resources, and low tax on fuel.

That list also includes Income Tax, you missed it?-----Sales tax is always meant to be charged from the end customer, this was very basic?

I don't have figures, but all those traders who are importers are registered. --- Small traders are willing to come under Tax net, all they demand is a simplified system (in urdu) and minimum interaction with Haram khors from fbr.

Your taxation system is cut copy paste, unless you make made in Pakistan system, things will not work.

Retail sector is 20% of GDP and pays just 0.25% tax.... all those crying about this tax and that tax are lying through their teeth.

Why don't they simply pay 4,000 to 5,000 fees to tax consultant who will file for them?

few days ago, one poster made a very good post on the state of traders community.-- Majority of your traders are illiterate.

They would be happy if the Govt simply sends them a yearly bill (like utility bill) and they will pay the bill, but if you ask them to file a return, they will not.-----

If you want to understand them, you will have to come down to their level.--- we all know that moustache man Shabbar is probably CA, but that idiot should know that the people he dealing with not CA. (most of them probably ran away from school b4 completing 8th grade)

Then pay only 4,000 to 5,000 to tax consultant dont see any issue at all infact this will create jobs for tax consultant as well.

What if other say do this and that then we will pay tax. Somenwill say dont have internet other will say dont know password etc lots of excuses.

Ways are there but they just want to make excuse do this and that.

This move shows all what is wrong with this system.--- Govt aim is just to squeeze out the money, our rulers are nothing more than dalals (middleman), they are tax collecting agents of IMF. ---

sharifs, zardaris and now imranis, none of them interested in fixing the system; they all want to show performance to IMF.

Instead of these types of useless moves, Govt must try to build confidence of the business community i.e encourage them to declare correct value coupled with reduced tax rates.---- I am confident that with correct value & reduced rates, Govt can collect three times more revenue.

Then pay only 4,000 to 5,000 to tax consultant dont see any issue at all infact this will create jobs for tax consultant as well.

There are issues, tax consultants don't charge 4000-5000+ you become kinda hostage to tax consultants.

No internet, no password etc., --- so why not save yourself (Govt) from these excuses, send them yearly tax bills? (this is for small traders)
