IMF Flags Pakistan's Unfair Tax System, Salaried Burden Rises

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has pointed out the inherent unfairness in Pakistan's tax structure, where salaried individuals' contributions have surged to Rs629 billion. This increase comes as major economic sectors such as real estate, agriculture, and retail continue to operate largely outside the tax net. The disparity underscores a critical challenge in broadening the tax base and improving fiscal equity. Addressing these structural imbalances is crucial for Pakistan's economic stability and its ongoing engagement with international lenders, which could influence the long-term outlook for the Pakistani Rupee against the US Dollar.
