00:00One thing is for sure, that a trader says not to pay tax, I don't know what kind of a trader he is.

00:06You can definitely say that many people have reservations in becoming a filer.

00:12They can be removed from the government's attitude.

00:16It can be improved with the treatment of the FDR.

00:22There are some soft policies in which people feel that they are not getting trapped,

00:28they will not be troubled.

00:30It is unfortunate that this policy has come.

00:34There are some clear mistakes in this.

00:38The filer will also pay tax in this.

00:41Then you give advance tax.

00:43Because people are used to it.

00:45In the end, they pay the interest.

00:47Whatever account they write for income and expenses.

00:50After that, the amount of tax comes out.

00:53This is the category that has come up to 60,000 from the beginning.

00:58Now it is 720,000.

01:00And then in such a situation, in which the economy is completely down.

01:06The GDP is zero.

01:08In this, I am seeing in 5 months that trade is down in every coming day.

01:15So this has made traders angry.

01:18This is the reason why people are vigilant at the moment.

01:21Then other factors have also put a lot of pressure on the traders.

01:27On which there is electricity bill.

01:29At the moment, there is a lot of noise in the traders' scheme.

01:33If you ask the truth, the most traders and common people.

01:38The electricity bills have worried to this extent.

01:42People are unable to pay.

01:48How to pay this?

01:50From this perspective, everyone is worried.

01:52Mr. Ashfaq Tawla, I wanted to know from you.

01:56Basically, the fear, the fear and the fear of being trapped.

02:02Mr. Ateeq Mir, it is obvious that traders are concerned about this.

02:05Now the matter of the salaried class is that at source.

02:08Whatever has to be taken from them, is taken.

02:10After that, obviously, they have to become filers.

02:12Is there more fear here or are there really legitimate concerns of the traders?

02:20Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Thank you, Mr. Ashfaq.

02:22Mr. Ashfaq, this is not a problem of today, it is very old.

02:26And Mr. Ateeq Mir is a witness to the fact that in December 2015.

02:32I myself went with Mr. Haroon Akhtar and Mr. Masood Bakhti.

02:36And we applied for amnesty from the IMF.

02:39That they will give 0.25% tax.

02:45And we had allowed them to declare all their business assets.

02:51We can declare it in the amnesty.

02:53There is an amnesty of 4 years and all your returns.

02:58They said that it was the team of Mr. Ateeq Mir, Mr. Kashif Chaudhary.

03:04No, it was the team of Mr. Mir and Mr. Ajmal Baloch, who were with him.

03:08Everyone agreed that there should be a convention of traders all over the country.

03:12And the result was 0.009999.

03:16So we were given an amnesty of 18 lakh crores.

03:20I will put it aside.

03:23I am telling you a very true story.

03:26It is written.

03:27Last year I was the chairman of the minister of state, reform and reform mobilization.

03:32At that time, all the traders came with me.

03:36Mr. Kashif Chaudhary had also come.

03:38Mr. Ajmal Baloch had also come.

03:41On the second day, Mr. Mir and all these people came.

03:44They agreed with me.

03:46I had negotiated.

03:48There is a government kick in this.

03:50See, I will do what is true.

03:53We had agreed that there was no need for any friendly scheme.

03:59There was a small return.

04:00We said that they will become traders.

04:02Small traders.

04:03See, there are two types of traders.

04:05One is a trader whom I cannot call a trader.

04:07He is a permanent businessman.

04:09And one is a trader who is a small trader.

04:12He is our brother.

04:13He has a turnover of 3-4 crores.

04:15We said that all those traders who have a turnover of 3 crores or below,

04:20we will make them full and final, who will pay their tax.

04:23The big tax payers should pay their return.

04:26This is done by all of us.

04:28Every company does it.

04:29Our firms do it.

04:30Everyone does it.

04:31We made it easy for them.

04:34We had agreed that we will charge 1% from where they do their purchases.

04:41Whether they do it through imports or manufacturers.

04:44And their details will come.

04:46They will get an auto-populated, pre-populated return.

04:52And we will make them verify that this is your return.

04:56According to this, the tax that has been deducted from you,

04:58tell them that the minimum is final for the big ones.

05:01And for the small ones, we will make it final.

05:03All these things were agreed upon.

05:05Now, after this agreement was made,

05:07I also told the chairmen of the world, the PR, that

05:09three members of the PR were sitting with me in the negotiation.

05:12So after that, why the government didn't do it, I still don't understand.
