00:00What do you have to say? There is no such mechanism in the world at night that how much business is happening in every shop in Pakistan, it's turn comes after the government.
00:06I want to say one thing to the Senator.
00:08Wait, I'm coming to you in a minute.
00:10Look, there are 700,000 commercial meters right now, they have already been registered in Income Tax.
00:18But my friends who are coming right now, in Pakistan, the way they have imposed this tax, the world will not get it.
00:29Before launching this scheme, they did not take the merchants in confidence.
00:33After this, they have held other meetings with us on the video link.
00:37But when one work is done, they are holding meetings after that.
00:41Today, no one locks their business.
00:44We are in extreme helplessness.
00:46Today's lock has been installed for 50 billion rupees.
00:50The country of Pakistan, this country is ours.
00:53This country runs on our blood, sweat and sweat.
00:56But there is no one to think about it.
00:58There is no one to pay attention to it.
01:00It should be sincere.
01:02Let the merchants sit.
01:04Let the representatives of the FBR sit.
01:06You are in contact with the FBR today.
01:08Yesterday, they told us to joke with the chairman of the FBR.
01:15Brother, how can we joke 24 hours before the strike?
01:18Now that the strike is over, are you sitting tomorrow?
01:20Look, if they give us a better way, we will definitely sit.
01:23The doors are open, we have not closed them.
01:26But the regret is that today the Prime Minister cannot take notice.
01:30The whole of Pakistan has been shut down.
01:32Does the Minister of Treasury not know?
01:34Does the chairman of the FBR not know?
01:36Why do they do this?
01:38Why is this game being played with this country?
01:40Today, you see the agreements of the IPVs.
01:42Did the merchants do it?
01:44Okay, that IPV is a different topic.
01:46Mr. Shabbar, you tell me.
01:47You are saying from the beginning that the merchants have been deceived.
01:49They are at fault in your opinion.
01:51That they did not understand.
01:52And the government is doing it.
01:53Is it right?
01:55Look, listen to me.
01:56Two things.
01:57What Naeem Bir is saying about POS.
02:00He is right.
02:01But Mr. Javed is also right.
02:04POS can be installed in a big shop.
02:07POS cannot be installed in a small shop.
02:10So, POS is not the solution.
02:13But the thing that the merchants did not understand in the tax dose scheme.
02:20Or it was not explained.
02:22That this indicative tax is not the final tax.
02:27When they collect the returns, they will take out their income and collect it.
02:33And from that, they will adjust the tax.
02:36But the tax officer has the full right.
02:39That he can give a notice of any amount on his income.
02:44And recover the tax from him.
02:46In which he will have the right.
02:48But because our tax system is very bad.
02:52So, there will be a chaos here.
02:55And the merchants will get big notices.
02:58I know this fact very well.
03:01And they have just seen the beginning of love.
03:08They have just seen the beginning of love.
03:11They did not understand what is going to happen next.
03:15But I understand that the government is not wrong.
03:19I have a question.
03:21I have a question to Mr. Naeem Mir.
03:24And I have a question to the other merchants.
03:27They say that these young merchants are the representatives of Pakistan.
03:32Tell me how many shops are there in Akbar-e-Middi and whose are they?
03:38If they tell me how many shops are there and whose are they?
03:41Then I will leave this job and start another shoe business.
03:46You can start whatever you want.
03:48You can have a separate program with Mr. Shabbar.
03:50No, no, I am telling you.
03:52I will give you all the figures. There is no issue.
03:55No, no, I am telling you.
03:57No, no, I am telling you.
03:59Sir, listen to me.
04:00This is the problem, sir.
04:02Tell me today. I will tell you.
04:04Today, there are 300,000 commercial meters in Pakistan.
04:10Okay?
04:11This is an industrial correction.
04:13There are 300,000 in Pakistan.
04:15Are 300,000 commercial people filing income tax returns?
04:20Not at all.
04:22Tell me.
04:23They are.
04:24Not at all.
04:25Then what are you doing?
04:26No, no, no.
04:27What are you doing to me?
04:28Those who are not filing, when did we say that they should not be brought into the tax net?
04:33We said that...
04:34Sir, I am asking you.
04:36Look, you have taken the matter to the other side, Mr. Shabbar.
04:39We are in favor of giving tax.
04:41We have never said that we will not give tax.
04:44We disagree with the method.
04:46And that method can be settled at the table.
04:49Countries do not run without tax to run the country.
04:53But in our case, the tax that is being given is being suppressed even more.
04:57Those who are not paying tax...
04:59No, Mr. Javed.
05:00Yes, Mr. Shabbar.
05:02Mr. Javed, I am not saying this to you.
05:04Mr. Javed, I am not saying this to you.
05:05I am saying that when you claim that you are the representative of Anjuman-e-Tajran
05:11and when we bring the tax law or make it easier,
05:15then you will bring everyone.
05:17So I assume that you will bring those 30 lakhs.
05:21You say that you should go and catch them.
05:23And do the negotiation with you.
05:25This cannot be done.
05:27No, but Mr. Shabbar, he is saying that he is joking about tax collection.
05:30He is an FBI.
05:31He is not an Anjuman-e-Tajran.
05:33He is not an Anjuman-e-Tajran.
05:35No, Mr. Shabbar, I am not joking.
05:37The collection that is there, the government does not have a record of it.
05:42No, then what is their status?
05:45They have come to suppress illegal demands.
05:48No, no, no.
05:49If you cannot bring it, then who is at fault?
05:51Is it the fault of the government or is it the fault of the FBI?
05:54I have said this before that all of them are united in the strike.
06:00But whenever there is a decision in the collection,
06:03I can tell you a 40-year-old tradition,
06:05whatever decision was made on this scheme,
06:08it was never implemented.
06:10All the decisions of this team were made with Anjuman-e-Tajran.
06:15Naeem Bir, my brother, is sitting here.
06:17He is a very intelligent man.
06:19He understands a lot of things.
06:21It was not implemented on one decision.
06:23It is possible that it is the FBI's fault.
06:25Let's conclude this now.
06:27Mr. Humayun, Mr. Afnan, Mr. Shabbar,
06:29one last comment from you.
06:30You predict.
06:31You said this was going to happen,
06:32there was going to be a strike,
06:33there will be more,
06:34there will be a deadlock,
06:35then there will be a better way,
06:36a middle way.
06:37What do you think that way will be?
06:39Final comment from you, Mr. Shabbar.
06:41That way will be that
06:43all the merchants will be registered first.
06:46Okay.
06:47There will be resistance in that,
06:48but the government will remain standing.
06:50The problem is not whether the merchants pay taxes or not.
06:54The problem is that 80% of them are not in the tax record.
07:00So, the first thing the government will do
07:03is to register everyone first.
07:07And then, I agree,
07:09when everyone is registered,
07:11we should start with a low rate
07:13and bring it to the tax net.
07:15This is the way.
07:16Done.
07:17Absolutely right.
07:18Mr. Humayun,
07:19Mr. Shabbar is sitting with you.
07:21He said on television
07:23that even in your time,
07:24how they used to go to tax this class,
07:26so this used to come,
07:27they used to go to tax this,
07:28so this used to come,
07:29they used to go to tax this,
07:30so this used to come,
07:31so this used to come.
07:32So, isn't this a similar situation
07:33that the government is facing right now?
07:35Is this a retail hurdle?
07:36Closed shop?
07:38Look,
07:39what I wanted to hear from Mr. Shabbar,
07:42I definitely agree with this,
07:44that Pakistan is the only country
07:46in which non-filer is a category.
07:49There is no non-filer category in the whole world.
07:53First of all,
07:54you have to get everyone registered
07:57and it should be compulsory.
07:59Yes,
08:00when you are filing a tax,
08:02you have to do a legal work.
08:04This thing,
08:05it's not as simple
08:07that you do this first.
08:09All these things are not on TV,
08:12they are running parallel.
08:14FDR is a very big mafia.
08:18It has dishonesty,
08:19it has corruption,
08:21it will put unnecessary tax on you.
08:25You can't do anything.
08:27Even if you appeal to them,
08:29the commissioner who will appeal
08:31will never give a decision in your favor.
08:33Despite this,
08:34he knows that this decision
08:36should be in your favor.
08:38You have to address all these systems
08:40simultaneously,
08:41in parallel.
08:42Then your problems will be solved.
08:45And all people will start coming to tax.
08:47Why?
08:48Remember this,
08:49a very powerful class
08:51who should pay tax,
08:53doesn't pay tax.
08:54A lot of people are paying tax,
08:56it's their helplessness.
08:57A lot of systems are such
08:59that they don't go to tax.
09:01If someone comes to me to pay tax,
09:03they themselves come and say,
09:04you pay 20,000 rupees,
09:05we will do this to you.
09:07If you don't listen to them,
09:09then if your tax is 1 lakh,
09:11they will put 4 lakhs on you.
09:13You keep fighting them.
09:14You can't do anything.
