700,000 potential Tax Payers marked by PTI government

ISLAMABAD - The PTI government has taken some key measures to increase the country’s tax base to jack up the tax to GDP ratio, which has been the lowest in the region. ------------------------------

Finance Minister Asad Umar has said that the government has collected data of 700,000 potential taxpayers. These persons should pay taxes on their income, they weren’t paying taxes.

He added that now no stone would be left unturned to bring these people in the tax net.

Talking to a private news channel, he said that agreements with foreign countries have been made to identify the people who keep their money outside the country or hide it to avoid tax.
