I am totally disagree with the figure only 5% pay taxes. Its only 15% pay income taxes, other yet pay taxes such as GST, W.H, Surcharges, Import Export Taxes & so o on.. & at the moment everyone pay around 40-60 of their whole expenditure only on the tax. But yes those who are paying income tax are less.. just for example, at the moment all pakistani who have transport paid around more then 350% (i am not counting current increase), similarly, every person who use telecom pays 36% tax, every person who just buy general daily use utilities he pay around 15+6% tax.. We have to demand from the government.. also, have u seen our government cabinet 81 ministers (excluding PA, Assts, Secties etc) just imagine even a country like USA don't have that huge cabinet. Similarly we have nazims, as well as civil government for every district, and pakistan has around 144 districts, so just imagine how many they absorb.. |
