Sleeping bureaucrats
Published in The News on April 28, 2016
According to a media
report, Sindh has collected only Rs1.529 (billion) as property tax. In another
media report, the FBR has demanded Rs 59 billion as income tax from just one
builder in Karachi. This means that property tax revenue should be many times
what it is now, considering the enormous construction activity that is going on
in Karachi alone.
We know, of course,
that our government (or non-government) officers are usually asleep on their
desks (on the rare occasions they turn up for work), so you cannot blame them
for this negligence, but what about IMF managers? Surely they can spot massive
tax evasion in the province, or are they asleep as well?
