Transfers/ postings are not the solutions. It means another person coming to do the job. He has only other name but has same qualification,same training, same attitude and more importantly same cosine. How can things improved?
Government of Pakistan should outsource tax collection to some international agency and totally abolish FBR as it is worst enemy of tax payers in the country
