ایف بی آر کی ٹیکس نفاذ میں ناکامی، غیر منصفانہ نظام اور مالی صحت کمزور

The FBR Chairman's plea to business leaders to persuade retailers to pay taxes reveals a systemic failure in enforcement, with only 300,000 out of an estimated 3.5 million retailers actively filing returns. This reliance on persuasion over enforcement creates an inequitable tax burden, where compliant taxpayers shoulder more while a politically influential sector remains undertaxed. The current turnover-based scheme, despite collecting detailed information, fails to assess actual income, contributing to unsustainable revenue numbers. This persistent fiscal weakness could exert long-term pressure on the Pakistani Rupee and impact overall economic stability.
