00:00Pakistan is out of T20, similarly middle class is out of Pakistan
00:05At this time, salaried class had paid 300 billion rupees
00:10In fact more than that, according to a news report of 9th June
00:13Last year, salaried class had paid 3.25 billion rupees
00:18And total of big stores, retailers and wholesalers had paid 71 billion rupees
00:26And 86 billion rupees were paid by exporters
00:29That means, salaried class had paid 280% less tax
00:35Now, tax on salaried class has increased to 75 billion rupees
00:39Dr. Khakan Najeeb and Dr. Shabbar Zaidi are also present
00:42Both are well known economists, thank you very much
00:44Doctor, first of all, tell us
00:46Finance minister, minister of treasury had said
00:50That we will broaden the tax base, we will expand it
00:54This is our basic principle
00:56Did you see this happening, doctor?
00:59Pakistan is a data rich country, right?
01:04You have commercial banks' data, electricity data, gas data
01:08You have shopkeepers' registration, I think
01:11Punjab, Sindh, everywhere
01:13If it is not done, they can do it, their data will come out
01:16Nadra's data itself is so big
01:19Now, you need data scientists to collate all this data
01:23To tell you how much I travel, how many accounts I have
01:28What is my income, what are my expenses, what are my cars
01:32And you can send me pre-populated
01:35Even now, if I don't like a certain tax, I can contend
01:41I have worked abroad, that is exactly what happens
01:44So, data mining is one of the most important tasks that we have to do
01:48I think beyond digitization
01:50There is no will, doctor?
01:52I think there is no technical capacity to do this in FPR
01:56And there is an influence of vested interest
01:59And the political continuity is not such that we can do all this
02:04Mr. Shabbar, you tried to do this work
02:07And we remember how much retaliation you had to face
02:11But what is the fault of the salaried class, Mr. Shabbar?
02:14Earlier, you gave 300 billion rupees annually
02:17Now, you have given 75 billion rupees more
02:20Retailers and wholesalers who are not ready to come into the tax net
02:24Catch them and expand the tax base
02:27Instead of giving more responsibility to the already tax payers
02:32Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
02:34Anika, you have been listening to me for two days
02:39My question to you is very simple
02:42Does Mr. Shabbar Sharif want the retailer
02:47Who is his lobby, basic lobby, retailer or RC
02:52Does he want to give tax? Is this his wish?
02:55If this is his wish
02:58Then everything can happen as it should
03:02Is our establishment's wish
03:06That retailers should be taxed against retailers?
03:11Interesting
03:12Is this our wish?
03:14Hello, can you hear me?
03:16Mr. Shabbar, I am trying to answer your question
03:18Is this your wish or not?
03:19Was it your wish in the government?
03:21Listen to me, let me complete
03:23Look, this is not our wish
03:26We do this only for the gallery
03:28Is this the wish of the people's party
03:31That the rich people of agriculture should be taxed?
03:35Whatever we do
03:39Whatever has happened in the budget
03:41It has happened because we have to show a document
03:46And after showing that document
03:48We have to take tax from it
03:50So I don't want to talk much about all this
03:54And this budget
03:56This is a deception for Pakistan
03:59And I don't want to waste my time
04:02By talking more about deception
04:05Nor do I want to waste the nation's time
04:07Very interesting
