The Big Questions

Taxation - Who pays, who doesn't? | Junaid Iqbal | Ep 2

What does Pakistan's taxation system look like? Who pays, and who doesn't? Turns out, some sectors we barely collect any tax from, and some sectors we over-tax. Is it any wonder that talent and industry keep leaving Pakistan? This is the second episode in a new series of videos I will be hosting, to try and understand Pakistan’s economic situation and how we got here. Join me as we take a deep dive into Pakistan’s development challenges, and its economic potential. In this episode we will take a look at the taxation system, which sectors are taxed, and how much they are taxed, and compare Pakistan’s tax system to other countries’. #pakistanbudget #pakistandebt #pakistanieconomy #economicgrowth #taxes #taxreform #fiscal #budget2024 #rupee #imf #junaidiqbal #foryou #foryoupage Our source links are in the comment section below.
