Tax evasion is one thing, and tax theft is another. The industrialist families that you so adore are loaded to their necks with black money…and that is not comparable to loopholes..and im sure you know well enough that loophole tax evasion is not the only game in town in Pakistan. If you are ok with the concept of robin hoods, then more power to you. But comparing Pakistan’s taxation system’s integrity to other countries is laughable. Pakistan stands in a select group of countries that have special laws for the rich and famous, made by the rich and famous.
If Malik Riaz can boost his PR by stunts like these, him, Sharifs and Zardaris can boost it a lot more by paying their taxes honestly, and not laundering it off to London or Switzerland or Dubai. Instead of your usual ‘bring in IK into every issue’ habit, stick to discussing the issue on hand.
Yes, Pakistan is far ahead in philanthropy than many other countries, but I hope that one day these same philanthropists can start paying their taxes honestly as well so that our government can truly break its begging bowl.
