Our FBR is the best in world, internal revenue system. No doubt it going to improve further with time & experiences. Now it’s the time for budgetary proposals. FBR must collect data of big lands & properties from land revenue departments, the residential plots of 2000 sq yds, or more, to begin with should be given a LIN # ( Land identification number) and for ever keep an eye on it, no matter how many hands it got changed. Similiarly for all expensive SUVs, New Mercedes, Land Cruisers, a VIN # (Vehicle Indentification number) will help trace the stolen vehicle, but also the owner will be on radar, FBR should grab the big alligators, and leave the middle class, which is already paying enough indirect taxes. Details about richies may also be gathered from Private Guard Cos, the list of their clientage be obtain, and FBR must ascertain about their wealth, obviously if an elite is paying Rs 200,000 per month for safety, his worth can be checked accordingly, FBR hope understands .

Is their any benefit the govt has proposed for the employee working in white collar jobs. Still yet all benefits offered / proposed are for the businessman and industrialist. The middle class is still looking : No income reduction. layoff as it is. Rent as its , The government manager should wake up and come forward with some relief.

Who pays tax in Pakistan?

Good to hear from FBR. I thought FBR is sleeping. No activity against tax evaders, increasing revenues. Life goes on. Expenses don't stop. Similarly efforts to raise income to continue. Who is stopping FBR to drive against tax evaders/ non filers/ up dating and.improving resources. If you are honest with your job and want to work then don't take pause in your work.

That is the grand plan of great khan, to play with the life of people in order to collect tax by telling them go and work to fill pocket of government by 40pc of earning in form of taxes.

@Ding Dong, ptcl bill comprised on 12pc federal tax 10pc provincial tax, electricity bill have almost 30pc tax now included fuel adjustment surcharge, petrol prices compare to international prices have almost 100pc tax, 17pc gst on basics, while producer also paying production tax on it and here you are asking who pays tax in Pakistan.

Nobody believes honesty in fbr. Just go to their office and ask for a tax return form. I bet, if you could get it.

Hasn't the FBR caused enough damage to the economy in the last 2 years ?

FBR policies are designed to extract maximum tax revenues for Karachi. When the city's population is just under 10%, then why is it made to pay 90% (including Income Tax, Sales Tax, Customs Duties, Surcharges, etc.) ?
