Sir: The newly introduced tax amnesty scheme proves nothing but only a premise of PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. However, Pakistan collects immense revenue by imposing high taxes burden on citizens, but recent amnesty scheme will ultimately take out around 522,000 tax payers from tax range among 700,000 registered tax payers. What remains for the government generating appreciable revenue nothing but only the unacceptable amnesty scheme? Undoubtedly, Pakistan is confronting uncountable economic crisis such as child labour, unemployment and low productivity which remained the main hampers on the way of economic development. What keeps away the government from such critical issues is high burden of taxes on wealth that is only hoarded by elites. Thus, the high burden taxation is the only way of distributing equal wealth to the people which helps government overcome economic crisis. KIYYA BADIL Kech Published in Daily Times, April 16th 2018.
