Restoration of Cellphone Tax by Supreme Court of Pakistan , Step in right direction

How is it step in right direction to tax some filthy rich guy (say texting his UAE scam cartel) the exact same on something as a poor guy using his cellphone to try grow say his street-stall business? This is same reason why GST should also be as small as possible given its a catch-all consumer tax (no matter how rich/poor the consumer is).

Tax revenue should be increased (by good investigation process) on things that actually are genuine low hanging juicy fruit (veiled or even denied by the oligarchs)...not on common stuff like this that proportionally helps lot of middle class and poor get by in current hard times....and expand positively in good times.

@VCheng and @MUSTAKSHAF are right, this is just a shakedown that will be counter-productive and worse, sets a bad precedent for more money-grabs from regular folks.

The key is always to look at what goods/services the corrupt-rich/oligarchs are consuming and accumulating near exclusively....go after those as priority...since the targetting is actually worthwhile in first place. This is also important to incentivise honest-rich + middle class to keep being that way and not target their liquidity flows by accident (given those are insturmental in helping jobs and growth).

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

The Mass transit systems have massive potential to fill up FBR accounts if it is done right

Lahore Metro Bus completed
Islamabad Metro Bus completed
Multan Metro Bus completed
Peshawar Metro Bus 97% completed
Lahore Metro Train 98% completed
-----------------------------------------------
Karachi Metro Bus (Under construction)
Karachi Circular Railways (Under construction)

If the ridership reaches 10 Million Daily Riders , then we can start charging ideal rate of
100 rupee per 2 way trip , with 20 rupee FBR tax

500 Million USD FBR Tax collection from Fully Running Transit System


Ridership can be increased with a ban on Motor cycles during work hours
Car owners can be asked to buy a Road Pass Permit during work hours to use road

 

[Maxpane]

they all are just looting us

 

[darksider]

Don't worry it's not your country

tu yeh khaali aap hi ka country hey?
yaar itney blind na bano Khan ki pic laga kar.yeh khulli loot maar hey.awam khoon choos lo sara.koi releif na dena.
Khan ko kaho dam fund hisaab tu do zara.wo kidar gaya.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

It's not looting if 90% people don't file Tax return then Sales Tax needs to be enforced
State of Pakistan is with in it's rights to demand Tax , by alternative daily usage of service

• You use cell phone , it will be tax
• You fill fuel in car, motor bike it will taxed
• You will buy food , it will be taxed
• You will ride a bus , ticket will be taxed
• You will ride a train , ticket will be taxed
• You will buy a TV, it will taxed , and then month TV usage tax watching talk shows
• You will eat Chikken Tikka and Kabab it will be taxed
• Passengers will use the beautiful Pakistani Airports they will pay Airport Security Tax
• I will be happy when news of Qurbani Animal permit tax will be announced

People are stacking up these two notes in homes so these notes need to go

Expire the Note

Expire the Note

People who will bring these notes for exchange at Bank will be offered

a) ATM card
b) Free Bank account
c) 2,000 Rupees in 100 rupee bill will given to you for usage if requested



Card will be reloaded and given back to you

This way money will come out of homes , closets , under the matress , Under the water tanker , dugged up hole in ground , hidden in wall or safe

It will be much more safe in Bank account

sir how can people like us file tax when we are just earning to survive . After so much tax , Government is making our life miserable without facilitating us. All are just looters who can even suck our blood

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

After a small period of struggle , in 3-8 years, our economy will be stabilized

For Day to Day usage people can always use ATM machine to with draw , 1,000 rupee or 2,000 rupees


If 5,000 Rupee note and 10,000 rupee note is taken out of circulation , and alternative cash is deposited in a Bank account , people's money is 100% safe but it will be living in Bank

So people can withdraw small amount every month.


**Only people who will have problem is who have stashed up 5 crore to 10 crore in homes when they will bring their money to bank of course their money will get deposited in Bank Accounts but they will have to give some explanation for the cash , they can opt to just pay 15% Tax on that money and no questions will be asked

Their NADRA card will be needed and FRB will be informed , of course if 15% Tax is paid on that money their will be no inquiry, 1 % of that will go to Pakistan Dam fund

They will get Receipt from Bank Clean money + Dam fund donation

EXAMPLE: Some guy brings 10 Crore (100,000,000 Rupees) for exchange
15 % Tax on spot will be 15,000,000 or he can deal with FBR


The bigger benefit would be the Banks will have large Deposits stored and this they will be able to make investments in Local Economy based on strength of their deposits




In rural areas , most villagers will not have these 5,000 or 10,000 rupee notes
only the big Farm Land owners will have , 20-30 Crore in his Villa , when he will come to Bank to exchange the notes in City , of course he can also pay the 15% Tax owned on his Agricultural goods and we will be all "GOOD"

15 % tax on 30 Crore Agricultural Income = 4.5 Crore in taxes

He will get a receipt of Agricultural Tax 15% , and 1% will go to Dam fund

He is another of PDF economists.For him siphoning 40% out of 100 is good,when Govt says 19% sales tax on everything.

Idea seems more like hafta wasooli in the garb of indirect taxation. Indirect taxes hit the shallow pockets of the poor hard compared to the middle class/rich. Better bet would be to restore and revamp the mechanism of direct tax collection by increasing the tax base and reducing evasion by plugging the leaks into parallel economy.

 

[HammerHead081]

This tax is a fucking joke. Telecom companies are looting the awam. Before tax was removed, Zong AIOM package cost was 500 rupees including tax, now its 650 rupees including tax. Its a joke.

What government needs to is remove services tax. Also make WHT only viable on non fillers. Same needs to be done for Internet, WHT only viable on non fillers. Why government doesn't do stuff like this? Its so simple, seriously very disappointed in PTI.

Impose tax on TV are you serious!!!!!

Registered Auto in Pakistan a 100 rupee per month Permit Tax on them would yeild 25 Billion Rupee Collection in 12 months

These figures do not show if motor cycles are included in this chart

Motor Owner Road Access Permit
100 Rupee / Month permit won't kill motor drivers

Must be displayed on dashboard of car
Monthly Permit you have paid to access roads
You could pay for whole year 1200 rupee and get Annual Permit and display it in your car

Train Traveler Tax
View attachment 557647

If Railway department can increase passenger riders on Train from 52 million per year to 100 Million Riders per year that would double the tax collection
We could collect modest 10 Billion from Tax

Air port traveler Tax

Petroleum Lust

Since 2008 we have lost track of Oil we import oil from outside Pakistan

View attachment 557654


In 2000 Barrel of oil was around $40.19 per barrel
In 2019 Barrel of oil is around $46.25 per barrel Only 6 more dollar

So ??? We are paying 140 Million per month now!!! Scam !!!!

What happened since 2008?? That oil graph just goes crazy since 2008 when Musharaf government disappears , is someone smuggling oil out to India or Afghanistan how can so much oil is needed after 2008????

Reforms in tax filing system is basic need because current system too complicated and even related person face too difficulty to filing thisand no proper check and balance for this system. On mobile tax there is double tax charging once on recharge and after on every usage that's a problem also mobile companies fraud with consumers about this but PTA on sleep

 

[Imran Khan]

mobile companies eat it and not give to gov
