What's new

From billboards to beds!! This idea has changed so many lives :)

Bro I have no objections on your qualification, but you clearly are misguided here. Tax laws have lot many loopholes but the one you are implying is not right.

Do you know what is the current exemption threshold for Income Tax?

Bro its a big subject and one can write a book on it , it would be difficult to discuss this on this thread as the thread maker aim is not to discuss tax of course .... for simple reason i think you need to look how prophet Yousuf (as) equalized the richer with that of the poor ... he brought the richer and the poor to the same levels ...

Let me sum it up, the current threshold limit is PKR 400,000 and a whole lot of poor don't even fall anywhere near taxable income slabs. The real problem is Corruption from top to bottom, everyone is working for his own interests.

What do you think about the exemption of Agriculture Tax ??? the Feudals in the Parliament wont allow any tax on Agriculture ?? the tax system is upside down in Pakistan with the poor paying more than the rich , the rich has many ways not to pay the tax and the government wont even notice , What about the Pm of the country who pays 5000 rs tax ..the middle class is under heavy burden of paying taxes ...
 
The workers?
should the heroin addicts be jailed or those who sell heroin be jailed???


yep :)
well,,,,similar initiative was taken here in Guwahati,,,,only in place of bed there was a lifeboat ,,,it was during rainy season I guess.
dont see those boats now,,,maybe stollen

And one major loophole in our Taxation laws is that we withhold tax even from our students, housewives, and nearly everyone who should not be taxed by way of moronic withholding tax provisions (like WHT on mobile phone users ), and that money should be refunded to people who are exempt from tax, but that never happens and most probably that money goes unaccounted for discretionary funds of ministers or whatever Idiots.

yes and there is difference between a good law and implementation of the law , just because you have good law does not mean it is implemented as well , we have lots of laws and they are good but they are not implemented ??

That has got to do with whole lot of reforms in tax laws......... If you read the Income Tax Ordinance 2001 as applicable in Pakistan you will go like :cheesy::fie: . It would have been lot better if the tax laws were simple, understandable for a layman. And tax regimes would not have been slab based or Final tax or Normal tax based. Treat everyone except corporations with a single rate, that way the more you earn the more you pay tax and vice versa. And it would also bring everyone in tax scope.

Agree with you sir
 
Same is the case in India. Lol.
In one of case my friend told me that,their is a Human Trafficking ring working in South Asia and to my astonishment he told me that girls from India,Nepal and Bangladesh are smuggled into Middle East through Pakistan and this gang is a joint venture between Indian and Pakistani gangsters who have strong political connections,guess who in India and Pakistan can dare to touch them,same is case in all crimes in SA gangs across border have strong ties,Governments are enemies but social enemies of both nations are fast friends..

Ironical!!!

The news that our ppl can cooperate should 've been a good news. But alas it is the flesh trade that unites 'em.
Ps:
I had heard of such gangs. Flesh trade in this part of the world is a veiled truth.

It is one of the oldest and time tested industry. And it is thriving for thousands of years. Sadly nothing concrete can be done to curb this menace.
