The low collection of taxes, direct and indirect, is the core issue for our

ailing economy. 
Improvement in tax collection could be carried out with consistent efficiency
in the system of revenue collection and promoting the culture of tax
wherein people voluntarily pay their due share of taxes themselves as
responsible citizens

The tax culture in Pakistan cannot be promoted unless our

parliamentarians contribute to tax collection honestly from all available
income sources and assets; whatever they own. It is crucial because if the
change does not occur in the parliament, it will simply not translate in the
whole country

The second most essential aspect to promote tax culture is to spend the
taxpayers’ money on socio-economic prosperity and welfare of the masses.
This is how developed and progressing countries are scaling up their tax-
to-GDP ratio up to 50 percent.

This spending is not merely a simple phenomenon of paying back to the

citizens but it is investment, in fact, which further multiplies monetary
benefits in the economy and will also generate more revenues for the
national kitty.
