Let's Rebuild & Excel Pakistan

Tax Culture Promotion & FBR Reform

By Zahid Ikram

Professionals & Businessmen of Pakistan are not defrauding taxes. they are trying to save Taxes to get the bare basics for their families.

They buy Generators/Inverter/UPS/solar systems because the Govt. has failed to provide a reliable power supply.

They install clean drinking water systems instead of Government Water Supply, hire instead of Government Security System, send children to Private Schools instead of Government Schools, go to private hospitals instead of Government Hospitals, buy and maintain cars instead of lousy public transportation, they use imported products instead of low quality local made products, they have to use Banks with Interest Based (Soodi Nizam) Economy System due to lake of Bait-ul-Maal. All Government Services are blow standard.

What does the Tax Payer get in return on retirement, when they need it most to survive? Nothing! Not even social security. Their own EPF and ETF too is embezzled by the Govt. Throughout their lifetime, their earnings are used by the Government to give subsidies to the masses for buying votes.

What else Government does with Tax money?

Set up courts which give judgments as asked by the Govt.
Operate Police Stations which work mainly for politicians.
Operate Hospitals which fail to treat the needy.

Build Roads and Infrastructure to steal our money ( 40-100%).
And the list is endless...

If the Pakistan Government may provide the above as done by the Governments of Civilized Countries, why would anyone avoid or evade paying taxes?

All Pakistani believe that the entire tax revenues are misappropriated by Bureaucracy and Politicians. A Business works at a margin of between 2% to 10% , whereas the government takes 30% of his income to cover its wasteful expenditure. Is it at all fair? Government has to reduce the Tax to minimum level.

This phenomenon indicates the failure of the Current Governing System in discharging its own functions fairly and efficiently. We have to think seriously to implement Islamic Welfare Estate to resolve all socio economic issues..


Tax collection is a Main Source of Income for a Country. We may Promote the Tax Culture in Pakistan with the following FBR Reforms on a top priority. Our main priority should be Tax collected by public shall be spend on public not on luxurious lifestyle of Public Office Holders. We have to promote our Made in Pakistan Exports by reducing the Cost of Doing Business in Pakistan with the reduced Utility Bills and Reducing Tax on Raw Materials. According to Islamic System only Zakat (help for the welfare of the community) shall be imposed and get rid of all other Unfair Taxes. GET RID OF INTEREST AND LOANS FROM IMF, WORLD BANK ETC.

FBR shall work under National Bait-ul-Mal, which shall be responsible for well being of Poor/Needy, Senior Citizens, Widows and Street Children, all Rich Persons have to contribute more to help the poor. As being a Muslim Country we have to promote Giving is Caring Culture.

In Pakistan every common Pakistani pays lots of direct Taxes in terms of mobile phone bills, Electric bills, Gas Bills, ATM withdrawals. Patrol, Diesel, Oil and also on every Household items. These Direct Taxes shell be minimized or eliminated from a common man.

Sales Tax shall be collected at big stores directly at the Point Of Sales. FBR representatives shall restrict on distributing businessmen.

Instead of charging higher Tax and duties on Automobiles and cellphones, Pakistan shall import the auto and mobile industries in Pakistan. This will generate lots of jobs and save our flight of our capital on the other hand we will generate foreign funds from our own export of vehicles. In the same manner we have to import the faculty to Pakistan instead of sending our students abroad to save our money and culture,

All Overseas Pakistanis shall provide Pakistani Bank e-Accounts Facilities in Overseas and promote and bound them to keep/Transfer their Saving/Funds in their e-Accounts.

NAB, FBR and FIA shall investigate for removing anomalies and revisit all Government Agreements like IPPs, LPG, Circler Debits, Foreign Investment, CPEC China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Reko Diq Gold and Copper Mining Contract to foreign firm, Government Sector Privatizations, Loans from IMF, World Bank etc., Loans Waived off and other Contracts etc., and rectify all issues against the interest of Pakistan.

BOI and FBR and Our Justice System have to Protect all Overseas Pakistanis and provide them full support and security to their Assets and Investment. Government may have fund raising from Well-off Pakistanis and Overseas Pakistanis for Loan Paybacks and National Projects.

Promote and facilitate Cottage Industries and Made In Pakistan Products.

NAB and FIA shall held all Corrupt Government Officials and Bureaucrats including their doormats (Derbaaries), Top 5000 Richest Persons in Pakistan and Dual Nationals and kept them in a 5 Star Jail unless their Complete Audit of Income, Assets and Paid Taxes or Money Trails. If they found guilty, hanged them upside down until the recovery of funds/ assets. Also Raid on their Homes and Offices to recover Hidden Wealth and Documents.

There shall be Strict Audit by Public Account Committee of all past projects of 20 Years exceeding the cost of 50 Million Rupees, All Government Official and Contractors Shall be Investigated for the wealth/ properties they possess.

We have to work on The Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (STAR) Program. STAR works with developing countries and financial centers to prevent the laundering of the proceeds of corruption and to facilitate more systematic and timely return of stolen assets.

Transfer of Plots in any society is done by a transfer letter issued by the developer not by a Registry by a court. This process is causing lots of loss to the government treasury. There shall be a new law to ban plots transfer by a developers transfer letter, there should a a Court Registry for all plots.

Pakistan shall earn maximum revenue out of its strategic location, its Gwadar Port, Motorways and C-PEC Routs to earn its revenue above 20 Billion US$ annually.

Stop smuggling of Petroleum on Iran Border.

Pakistan shall not depend on IMF, World Bank, Asian Development Bank or US Aid etc. We have to stop taking loans on Interest, which is strictly prohibited in Islam. Instead we have to seek help from our brother Islamic Countries and our Friends. We shall not trade in US$, we may barter trade or may use GOLD or Local currencies.
Improve Exporta of Made in Pakistan Products at providing One Window Operations by BOI and FBR, Reducing Cost of Doing Business by Subsidized Utility Bills, Lower Tax Rates, while simultaneously decreasing our Imports and Banning Exorts of Raw Materials.


Bangladesh setup in 1971 and now its Textile Products Export is standing at second position in the world and crossing 37 Billion of US Dollars.

Textile is a long value chain starting from the Natural And Man Made Fiber, Ginning, Spinning, Weaving, Knitting, Processing, Home Textiles, Technical Textiles, Garments; Allied Industry Such As Accessories, Chemicals, Machinery And Spares etc.

Put Ban on Export of Raw Cotton, Cotton/ Silk/ Fiber Yarns, Spun Thread and Plain or dyed Cloths, It will motivate Chinese and other Countries’ Textile Industries to move in Pakistan when they will not get a raw materials. We have to manufacture the Final Stitched/ Sewed Textile Products, and have to do value additions such as designing, marketing, branding, distribution channels etc., to Export. That is how we can bring our textile Exports up to 60 Billion US Dollars per year constantly. If we want to achieve this goal we need lots of direct Foreign Investment as well labor force and we may overcome unemployment from Pakistan.

Government shall open more Expo Centers and Industrial Zones especially one in Faisalabad, since this city produced 45% of Textile Exports. FBR shall establish an Auto Tax Refund Facility for All Textile Exporters to give them instant refunds, it will boost Textile Exports. Government shall provide extra funds for Gas and Electricity setup in all industrial Zones. Government also has to manage good Waste Management, Drinking Water Supply and Environment Control in all Industrial Zones.
