why increasing tax collection targets each time ? then what fbr does they further increase indirect and direct taxes also sindh government also collect taxes. overall full burden on a normal person and in return paying hundreds of taxes each day we does not get even a penny service by government maybe they loot all . tax system is just for poor and middle class people only.
I wonder how did they collect tax in the Pandemic covid-19 just because of bad economy which is not growing at all.looks like fbr lieing about the tax collection.
