Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 million

This is healthy sign and other celebrities should also follow his foot steps , if others people like politicians, industrialists, bureaucrats, journalists follow this, this is a good trend and it will help to repair the country’s economy.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

^^ I don't know man 3.5 million seems a little low - thats 35 lakh rupees?

What tax rate do you think is applicable on him?

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

He is not a bollywood hero for every song he gets around a million rupees and shows also include some million rupees so this tax is according to Pakistani Law

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

Puts our "poor" politicians to shame.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

Our Politicians are shame and bisti proof

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

These were the money earned from many shows not one single show according to news

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

We must appreciate this effort of RFAK, instead of raising unnecessary objections by using our negative thinking.
The question is not correct that how much he is paid? , it is high or low???
The real question is, shall we and other people will pay tax to Govt like Rahat?

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

If true, how much tax is should pay on that amount? and how many time a year he is invited to perform in India… still 3.5 million is lot more then many pay in Pakistan, now you can criticize him for paying that as well…

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

True, at least he pays taxes, that is a start.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

Elite of Pakistan does not pay only the man who is doing job is paying the TAX because it is automatically taken from him

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

zardari probably got a refund as he is so poor.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

T^ agree, I would hate to pay tax in Pakistan knowing its going to line some greasy politicians hands, not used where it is supposed to be (good job i don't live there then eh?)

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

Rahat's income from various activities may fall in various categories including:

(i) Execution of contract (singing or advertisement contracts) subject to tax @ 6%. Normally tax is deducted at source by payer at the time of payment.

(ii) Royalty (in respect of CDs /DVDs) subject to tax @ rates ranging from 7.50% to 25% depending on income of the individual. (25% rate is applicable, when income exceed Rs 1,500,000). He is eligible for credit in respect of any tax paid on such income in India or any other country.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

All benefits provided to Zardari, being President of Pakistan' are tax exempted.

Commission income (major source of Zardari's income) is subject to tax @ 10%. Mr 10%! should pay 10% of his 10% as tax.

btw, someone said in another thread that Zardari does a lot of charity, he can have tax credit for such charity, if he chose to pay tax.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

Organisers must have deducted tax at the time of payment as per Indian tax laws.

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

True, but India Pakistan do not have tax-treaty ( or do they have it) so the income is taxable in Pakistan...

Re: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the renowned singer, on Wednesday paid a tax of Rs3.5 milli

India- Pakistan have a limited scope treaty covering income from airline business.

The point is, when organisers of music shows in India are required to deduct tax at source, why RFAK was blamed for evading tax.
