Featured FBR to Impose Sales Tax on Used Cars

Pakistan needs to tax cars and encourage use of cycles and e-cycles with proper infrastructure in place i.e separate bike lanes, subsidies etc. Just have local and international manufacturers setup factories and produce decent bicycles (not sohrab types) in range of 12-15 k and give subsidies if possible. like ride to work in UK and EU. This can be a huge industry. Imagine producing bikes for 220 million people!!

people will easily evade this tax as already many people sale used cars without transferring ownership on papers

Car has to be registered to current owner. New owner must register the Vehicle under his name by changing the ownership/car title. Police should issue ticket to anyone driving car under previous owner. Our municipal courts have to be active to deal with these kind of issues.

The tax notice will then go to the previous owner who can identify the new owner to authorities.

In DC/Virginia we have to pay county property tax on the Cars every year, yearly (or two year) state registration fee, yearly car inspection and buy car insurance. Even if you buy a used car, you have to pay taxes and title fees.
You self acclaimed Angels don't know that Pakistanies do pay tax on property every year ,on vehicles every year on petrol every day , on transferring property or car every time ,there are withholding tax ,there is advance value addition tax, excise tax , general sales tax ,even on transferring money from one bank to another bank we pay tax ,the cars here are twice expensive than India , pizza is expensive than America minral water is expensive than most of the countries, the problem is that the corrupt FBR and its bureaucracy do not collect the taxes properly instead of increasing number of new tax payers they are imposing taxes on non realistic basis on same business making it impossible to run any business, your moron leader is believing bureaucracy blindly , he is a liability on Pakistan imposed on the nation ،instesad of screwing the corrupt elements he is screwing the already shrinking economy and people hit by Covid , locusts, floods and more importantly by corrupt of current govt and previous ones, sub Haram khoor Pak saaf ho gaiy Hain jab say ye munafiq Aya hy kisi aik banday ko saza di hy isny kaya sari bureaucracy farishtay ho gai hy ?

review and fix all your posts.
tone down your temper and remove all implied or direct explitives.

I didn't get FBR logic - Dealers aren't paying income tax so they imposed tax on buyers?
 
.
That's how its in the west as well. You earn an income on the sale of a car, you are liable to pay tax on it.

But that's not what FBR did, instead of going after Dealers it have imposed 17% tax on buyer.

You are suggesting jack pot for crooks in police to make money.

We are on the right track and hopefully once we digitalize the system and decentralize power, it will all begin to run smoothly.

Federal government
Businesses have to pay Payroll taxes
Provincial government
City government
District government
Property Taxes ( housing and luxury Cars)

Please see my previous post on related issue.

Culture? Ha Ha Ha
Who is taking away culture?
What culture has to do with administration?
We don’t need provinces and there is no point of waisting money and resources on Jahil MPAs.

We need a custom build system design for Pakistan. IMHO, best option is to go for Division with publicly elected Governor/commissioners and divisional council.

In my opinion, Provinces should be given a title of region, for example, Punjab region, Sindh region, Balochistan region, KPK region and GB region. Each Division within the region should become an administrative unit. This will eliminate the need of provinces and 18 amendments. Decentralize the power down to union council level. From Federal to Divisions, and from there to districts and to union councils. I have already discussed the responsibilities of Divisions and districts in a different thread.
Here are some of the responsibilities of district government.
  1. Economic Development:
    • Economic development and community development initiatives, this will assist Federal government.
    • Every small Business must be registered with district and pay the annual registration fees (Standard fix fee).
  2. Environmental Control: Solid waste disposal, support Federal government with air and water quality management
  3. General Government:
    • Vehicle registration, both personal and commercial.
    • safety inspection & Emission testing of personal and commercial vehicles must be done at district approved locations.
    • Assist in Taxing, budgeting, purchasing, property management, building inspections, district facilities management, planning and zoning.
    • human resources administration, board and commission appointments
    • Assist with election.
  4. Health:
    • Assist federal government with various children and family services including Family Planning Association of Pakistan (FPAP), Child adoption, Child protection services, Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and poverty elimination programs.
    • Also assist with mental health services, health and hospitalization,
    • registration of all medical facilities including clinics and hospitals within district
  5. Judicial: Court records archive, title issuance, collecting and disbursing court costs (Clerk of Courts); operations of appeals, common pleas, municipal, juvenile, probate, and domestic relations court.
  6. Public Safety:
    • Each district will have it’s own police department which will report to Deputy commissioner of the district. In maters related to district police, DC will report to Commissioner of Division.
    • Rescue 1122 service and District security
    • disaster planning and emergency management (EMA)
    • regional law enforcement information network (CLEAR)
    • criminal and civil attorney, law enforcement, jail operations, court security, crime investigation.
  7. Public Works: Water and sewer treatment plant, Construction and maintenance of the roads and bridges within district.
  8. Recreation: Financing and operations of parks, historical building and monuments, Zoo, Cultural activities, Museum, etc.
  9. Social Services: Job and Family Services, Vocational training, Senior services.
In Pakistan everyone blame others and no one is willing to take the responsibilities. If we clearly define roles, no one can blame others for lack of progress.
*Region will follow their responsibilities... Regional committees in NA will discuss regional issues and possible solution.
*Division council will discuss issues with Division and find the solution.
*District Council will discuss issues within District.
We have 132 districts in Pakistan. If every district government start working and fulfilling it's responsibly, we will see some real progress in the country without take away culture and zaat-paat.
