Shahid Khaqan Slams Unjust Tax System Urges Major Reforms
Former prime minister addressing a press conference here said that the ongoing tax system has not been based on justice and urged for changing this taxation system. “This tax system is compelling people to tax evasion,” he said.
He said that the budget doesn’t offer any reforms or change any mechanisms. “The situation could not be improved if no reforms are introduced,” he said.
He urged the government to cut its expenditures and decrease the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).
Shahid Khaqan said that no relief will be possible until the government doesn’t reduce its expenditure. “This budget has proved that this system could not be run,” he said.
He said the salaried class pays 600 billion rupees in tax, and an additional burden is also piled on the salaried class.
He suggested a tax system in which all people pay taxes.
