An example of how lopsided our tax system is , If you are a so called ‘non filer ‘ you pay flat 30% Tax on interest income , irrespective of the amount you get in a year . If you are a tax filer and your interest income is more than 6 million , you pay 35% tax .

Task force for repeating what WE ALREADY KNOW for decades? That you favour and protect rent-seekers and informal/unregistered businesses, and never touch agricultural and property trading income? Do you have the guts to make even one change, led by someone as irrelevant and amateur as Kakar? Don't waste our time. Just go and beg for more loans, while enjoying the protocols funded by tax payers.
