I do not think it is bad to pay some % to government in returns.
People are earning to yar 1 lakh kay peeche 1000 pay karne see kya ho ga?
I wish if it was that simple... i have been in this situation... freelancers don't get a chance to open a bank account. Tax bilkul daina chahiye aur tax chupana fraud hai... but IT industry is tax exempt until 2025. If I'm not wrong it was done under Musharaf era.
Bat tax chori ki nahi... agar tax banta hai aur koi nahi daita tu bilkul pakrna chahiye... you know who's the bigger tax chor in Pakistan? Shopkeepers in Pakistan!!! believe me choti shop se le kar bari supermarkets nah inki koi book keeping nah koi audit.. they making money paying zero tax.. aisa tu kisi mulk main nahi hota... you can argue k chote dunkandar kitna kama lete hon ge... but when these shops are in millions and millions you can imagine how much tax invasion has been done until now.
Any way main kabhi iss k khilaf nahi hon, bilkul Pak govt. rules banaey freelancer and even social media influencer jo certain amount se oper kama rahay hian they should be liable to tax. First let them have working status let them open bank accounts based on their nature of Business then impose tax and give them penalties if they evade.
Exactly If we are earning good amount then why not pay the government so they can utilize that money to develop our country I am not against anything about taxing, I just want a department responsible enough so they can conduct these things properly and for those who want to pay tax there must be a clear way and easy way, not a complex one.
1% is nothing even 10% is not that bad if we pay that tax but we want returns from Government.
Jee you are right, I was only commenting on the way FBR tried to present it as tax fraud and biggest scam "
FBR says it has uncovered a 'mega scam''", that what makes it wrong.
News simple bhi ho sakti issue a circular announcing Ok from today onward those who are working online and getting money through Payoneer should be registered and file their taxes.
By the way who told you tax is 1%??? It starts from 5% and goes up to 35% (if income <600k then no tax).
