00:00As a result of this week's high-profile strike, the business of this country has been shut down.

00:10The economic experts say that they have not seen such an impactful strike before.

00:17The problem is that there are some concerns about tax.

00:23The tax evaluation table is being revised.

00:28In addition to this, they are calling it a hooligan tax.

00:32The situation is that the data of the FPR is in front of me.

00:35And in the last year, in 2023-2024, which class has given how much tax?

00:39What does the data of the FPR tell us?

00:41The highest tax in this country is given by the salarymen, 375 billion.

00:45Then the exporters are giving 111 billion.

00:47Then the retailers are giving 34 billion.

00:49Then the real estate is giving 8 billion.

00:52And then Zaree Shobha is giving 8 billion.

00:54That is, we have seen that the retailers, real estate, Zaree Shobha, and the exporters in total,

01:00are giving less tax than the salarymen.

01:03Mr. Shahbaz Rana has made an interesting story in the Express Tribune.

01:07He says that after the protest, the government of Pakistan issued a tax return form.

01:13In which the traders were excluded from giving details of bank accounts and assets.

01:18According to the form, apart from collecting tax refunds,

01:21the traders will not be required to give details of bank accounts.

01:24But the traders want to be completely excluded.

01:26According to the source, after the successful tax return protest,

01:29the FPR seems to be in the mood to give more relief to the traders.

01:32On the other hand, according to the government source,

01:34the IMF program cannot be sabotaged.

01:36And any relief given to the traders is dependent on the approval of the IMF.

01:41According to the new scheme, the government had to collect 50 million rupees from the traders in the Rawa financial year.

01:46Which is now seen as impossible.

01:48Out of lakhs of traders, only 205 have come to the tax net.

01:53From which 5 lakhs of tax has been collected.

01:56According to Mr. Shahbaz Rana's story.

01:58How far has this matter reached?

02:00And does it seem that the government will have to step back after the protest?

02:04With us in the program is Mr. Ajmal Baloch,

02:06President of All Pakistan Anjuman Tajran.

02:07Mr. Shahbaz Rana, former chairman of FPR.

02:09He is also an expert in economics.

02:10Thank you both very much.

02:11Mr. Ajmal Baloch, let's start with you.

02:13We have already shown your objections to tax.

02:17Why don't you want to pay tax?

02:20Because generally, the sentiment in this country is that the paid class pays more tax.

02:26Whenever we try to bring the traders to the tax net, they protest.

02:30In the last government, Mr. Ismail wanted to impose tax.

02:33You got it reversed.

02:34This time you want to reverse it again.

02:36Look, there are two types of paid class.

02:39One is government and the other is non-government.

02:41Private people.

02:42Private people are paying.

02:43Government tax is paid from our tax.

02:47Some money is deducted from it for tax.

02:50Then they take 5 lakhs, 10 lakhs facilities from us.

02:53That is also a burden on us.

02:55When this trade scheme was brought,

02:58we were told that this non-filer will give 1200 rupees to bring it to the net.

03:05It will be registered.

03:06And it will file its return after a year.

03:09Like the old taxpayer, it will also become a taxpayer.

03:11We welcomed it.

03:13We gave access to the FBR.

03:16These 63,000 people who have been registered,

03:20they have been registered on our behalf.

03:22Although, in every market, they do not have the capacity to bring people to the net.

03:27It has been six months,

03:29a total of 50,000-60,000 people have been registered.

03:32We said, okay, everyone should come to the tax net.

03:37The next thing we got,

03:39when we got closer,

03:41the chairman who was leaving,

03:43we did not know,

03:44the last meeting we had with him,

03:46he said that this scheme is a valuation table.

03:51We got worried.

03:53What is a valuation table?

03:54When we saw that your property,

03:57the property belongs to the owner,

03:5999% of the tenants are inside.

04:01The DC value, the FBR value,

04:05suppose the value of a shop is one crore rupees,

04:0810% of that will be spent on income.

04:11Now, you do not get a penny for one crore rupees.

04:15The smallest shop,

04:17I do not know, the owner has an income of six lakhs.

04:19The law says that there will be no tax on it.

04:20How much tax do you want to give?

04:22We want to give on our income.

04:24Everyone is giving on their income.

04:26The thing is,

04:27it has been 25 years since I have been in this business.

04:31They have not been able to bring people to the net.

04:33It is not easy to bring people to the net.

04:35People do not come to the net.

04:37The easiest way was,

04:38the commercial meter holder,

04:41the electricity bill is a government document,

04:44he is paying an advance of 10% income tax on it.

04:48I have been asking since 2001 to register him.

04:51Send him a notice.

04:53Four and a half lakh people,

04:55to transfer the property,

04:57to sell the car,

04:58if you take the NTN,

04:59they have come out of the FBR net.

05:02Who is responsible for that?

05:03Last time, you were not even ready to give a fixed tax.

05:06No, it was not fixed.

05:07Mr. Mifta Ismail was tweeted and said,

05:09then he reversed the tax again.

05:10You do not want to give, right?

05:11No, no.

05:12You always close the tax.

05:13The government comes under pressure.

05:14No, no, no.

05:15The state does not close the income tax,

05:17so it is okay.

05:18The electricity bill,

05:19I had imposed a tax of 3000.

05:21What was that?

05:22Already,

05:23every trader,

05:2410% income tax,

05:26when it is totaled,

05:27it appears to be 16%.

05:29But 10%

05:30filer or non-filer,

05:32advance tax is being paid.

05:34They wanted to take 3000.

05:36He is giving 70,000,

05:3750,000,

05:3830,000,

05:3940,000 per year,

05:40which is non-filer.

05:41Then why were you imposing 3000 more?

05:44See,

05:45till the time,

05:46FBR,

05:47the Prime Minister comes,

05:48he says,

05:49there is a problem in FBR,

05:50we will fix FBR.

05:51No one has done it right.

05:52Sir,

05:53but the 34 billion retailers who are paying tax,

05:55is it right in proportion to your income?

05:57Because,

05:59See,

06:00I say,

06:01this is wrong.

06:02How much are they paying?

06:03How much are the retailers paying?

06:04FBR,

06:05I say,

06:061.25 crore traders.

06:07Tell me,

06:08even if a trader is sitting in Chaman,

06:11he does not know how much tax I am paying,

06:14he is still paying a tax of 30,000-40,000 per year.

06:16Sir,

06:17when you come to the tax act,

06:18you will come to know.

06:19You will be formalized.

06:20This is the problem.

06:21Actually,

06:22people,

06:23the situation is like this,

06:2470% in the country,

06:25there is a decrease in buying and selling.

06:26Except for the grocery store,

06:28and the medical store,

06:29there are no customers.

06:31When there are no customers,

06:32when there are no buyers,

06:33then what will the shopkeepers do?

06:35See,

06:36the country's landowners,

06:37industrialists,

06:38and shopkeepers,

06:39all three are so worried,

06:40all three are against the government.
