At the moment only 260000 people pay taxes in Pakistan, and these would be the salaried persons (at least a big proportion). The taxation system needs to be overhauled to ensure that the people pay their taxes. But change needs to come from the top first, the ministers, parliamentarians, land lords, industrialists all will need to pay. Why should a person earning 40000 pay tax, and those earning crores shy away?

Because no one in Pakistan is ever sent to jail for tax evasion. Everyone knows that even there is an honest taxman and you are caught, you can pay your way out of it.
