Few days ago we wrote about 1.5 percent increase in withholding tax on telecom services, in response to which we witnessed the maximum possible protest from mobile phone users.
Well, that was just 1.5 percent tax, on a service you use, which you can save if you don’t use the service at all, but just imagine if at once you get deprived of 15 percent salary, in the name of “Flood Surcharge”.
Based on information we are getting, all public/private sector employees are going to pay 15 percent of their salaries to the Government as tax.
What country is this? Who is running it? and with what aims? A totally un-comprehendible step, I mean look at the inflation and they are asking for further cuts?
This is even more distressing when we see our political leaders paying their taxes in mere rupees, in fact few of politicians don’t pay taxes at all.
Check few stats below (according to Nadeem Malik of Aaj TV)
* Mr. Gillani paid Zero Rupee as Tax
* Mr. Shahbaz Shareef paid Zero Rupee as tax
* Ameer Haider Khan Hoti Paid Zero Rupee as Tax
