Government needs more taxes. They have already squeezed salaried class, max tax on petrol and diesel, witholding tax on everything, 200 percent duty on cars. The only sector left was real estate. Govt knows that people invest all their money in this sector, so it knows that it can get billions from it. Taxes on this sector will continue to increase, plus FBR will go after anyone who invests a large amount in property. Therefore the sector will not see the kind of gains it saw from 2102 to 2106 when plot prices tripled in 4 years. Now prices will stay stagnant for the next 4 to 5 years |
