🌟 [ 26 ]   Are We Tax Cheats? I Is it fair to label all Pakistanis as tax cheats? [ @PIDE Official ]

Through countless studies and reports, a notion precipitated that #Pakistanis are #TaxCheats. This primarily comes from the fact that the country faces a #revenue problem every year. Could the real issue be elsewhere? Maybe, the system is so complex that most of people feel comfortable operating extra-legally. - Is it fair to label all Pakistanis as tax cheats? - Does not each Pakistani pay #indirectTaxes on a daily basis? - Is #TaxCompliance the only elephant in the room? - Pakistanis lead in #philanthropy but lag in tax #contributions. Why? - What role does public perception play in terms of paying taxes? - Informal sector participants repeatedly talk of a trust deficit. What can be done about it? - Can the variable tax policy be itself responsible to erode confidence? - Could tax simplification and gradual cultivation of good #governance increase revenues? - Is the larger issue of curbing expenditures than a continual struggle to grab revenues? - Excessive #documentation and high rates erode confidence and lead to avoidance. - Would reform of the #FBR be an important first step, along with #expenditure control?
