Government must reduce GST to 7% on things used by poor and middle class, 10% reduction in GST on these things should be recovered as minimum 10% direct income tax. In this way, paying tax and filing return law will be uniform for everyone with no exceptions will be needed which is mother of all tax evasions. People will realize it's their money being looted, used for subsidies, wasted on unneeded projects and paying back loans - Perhaps that will make idiots get out of "Kahata hai tu lagata bhi hai", "Saray hi khatay hain", "Bhutto Zinda Hai" mentality while voting.

One of the world’s lowest tax collection rates partly help explain the shoddy state of Pakistan’s hospitals and schools, and why the

Excellent post. Government ministers and especially that cunt namely Dawood are making a fool out of Imran Khan. They don't want to put any taxes on upper class because they themselves belong to it.
