Penalty
The government has made it mandatory for providing CNIC numbers or National Tax numbers of purchasers who are not registered with the Sales Tax department. Unfortunately this will contribute greatly in unregistered consumers turning to smugglers to provide the goods they need to run their businesses. A few years ago, unregistered persons had to pay 3% extra. This law should be enforced again, and the extra payment by unregistered consumers raised to 5%. At least the government will get much needed revenue, rather than losing it to the smugglers’ mafia.
