Tax amnesty
Sir,
The government has
announced another tax amnesty for those who indulge in tax evasion. Since these
crooks know they will get the benefit of an amnesty every year, they refuse to
stop their nefarious activities. But honest taxpayers, who pay up to 35% in income
tax, have to suffer every year the harassment meted out by the tax hounds. The
Chief Justice of Pakistan should take suo moto notice and order the government
to cancel the amnesty scheme, or refund the amount of taxes paid for the past
ten years by honest citizens. As for those who thought of this scheme and those
who will approve it in the National Assembly and the Senate, “laanat” on them!
Shakir Lakhani,
Karachi.
