In line with government’s vision of enhancing revenues, REMIT is supporting @FBRSpokesperson in a comprehensive data integration exercise, with a potential of adding appr. 5% to revenue . REMIT team met Member Compliance Risk Management, FBR, to brief him on the way forward.

If Pakistan’s inflation is 30% and in Europe/ America it is 5%, then the annual depreciation of Pakistani currency should be around 25%. However, for this simple equation to hold, all other indicators need to remain unchanged.

We often get asked about our sales tax harmonisation work & how our support to the Federal and provincial governments can help.

A harmonised sales tax regime across all provinces is good for business. It's as simple as that 👇

@DrIkramulHaq Agreed Sir. The amount in federal government goes to B Account and provinces also use it in their general expense. These two taxes must be abolished in the wake of increase in general rates of taxation.

The only way we can give our 240 million people a chance to live a decent life is by making an effort to end internal conflicts, infighting and uncertainty and change our warped external image.

The other dilemma in tax compliance is that a rational person would always like to minimise his tax payments, as the utility of money in possession is far greater than giving it to the government ۔۔۔

Sir @hamidateeq : Brilliant article calling it what it really is. “Optimal” taxation policy needs to be implemented in full force. The only way forward is to bear the brunt of the IMF conditions n reep what we have so diligently sown, time and time again.
