The hardest words a captain can say are: "abandon ship."

Pakistan has millions of decent, hardworking people trying to keep the vessel afloat. But effort alone cannot save a ship that keeps taking on more water than it can pump out.

Maybe I'm wrong 🤷

[Nadeem Haque @nadeemhaque]

Still complaining. Is it just a long moan? Is it bot his fault? He has been in that office for 10-+ years and still complaining.

When will he own the problem?

Great, so if you expand your retail business to multiple stores you suddenly are 18% more expensive than your competitors. From the FBR to to compliant successful business, a big Fuck You.

[Asfandyar Farrukh @asfandyarf]

@81ShahbazRana There is some confusion about the new shopkeeper's tax scheme.

Exemption from "POS" refers to the real-time integration of a retailer's till with the FBR-POS system (which applies to only 'Tier-1' retailers anyway)

AFIK, it won't have any impact on the Cashless Pakistan drive.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@najam_ali Lol, exactly 💯

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@AyazB9 Doesn't solve the issue of underpaying unless there is an audit threat

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

We need to understand that both sides are acting in bad faith
Traders really don't want to pay any tax
Government has no intention to stop at the lower levels
Until that changes, expect nothing to work

Another year, another tax scheme for traders https://t.co/KGBrmRnyRR

6/ So each budget becomes a choice.

Not between competing economic theories, but between preserving control and creating prosperity.

Until we choose prosperity, we should not be surprised when growth, jobs, investment and living standards remain below their potential.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

1/ Every federal budget forces a simple question:

Do we want high growth, high employment, rising living standards, and a more affordable life for ordinary people?

Year after year, our answer appears to be no.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

5/ The harder truth is that genuine economic reform reduces the ability of elites to control and allocate opportunity.

A more open economy creates winners outside existing power structures.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

There are actually many reforms the govt can make to build business confidence which have nothing to do with so-called fiscal space.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

Changes in policy should require consultation and notice. Contract and property rights need due process. Suo Moto needs to be restricted. Discrimination in policy should be prohibited.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@DPerwani Pretty nice

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@Benazir_Shah Good but is anyone taking a stand for the country or their political interests
As a journalist and as patriotic Pakistani, you should give your opinion

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@jehan_ara @KElectricPk I'm sorry if you do not have the finances to get a generator but this is going to go on for years.

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@Mushahid @IranAmbPak We all have to object to oppression but sometimes they have to feed our families

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@DanQayyum @indimasala @gauravsabnis @RockyEatsX @sahilkazmii @himganj153 @hussainsadaf1 @Finelychopped I object to the multiple tweets you made without like disclosing this

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@algoflows @carlquintanilla If anything that going to be more conservative

[Invictus @Invictus23626]

@economistayesha Sorry but what is this?
