  • They can only squeeze the salaried class as they do not have guts too bring more in tax net

  • They are taxing only the literate people who are not the voters of PDM.Very rich class are the certified looters and very poor class live on the Qeema Naan or BISP.This is kind of Pakistan Zardari and Nawaz wants.They want all the educated people to leave the country.

  • These idiots have done nothing to expand the tax net. No tax is being collected from agriculture sector, shopkeepers and jewellers because they would lose political capital.

  • Shameful gov with no taxes on their own business including agriculture where returns are high. The budget is too political!!!

  • I am deeply saddened that instead of providing relief, they have made life more difficult for the salaried class this time. They should have increased the exempted taxable income in terms of inflation and also decreased the tax rates. However, these are the same people from whom tax collection can easily be done. Let’s hold them accountable for it.

  • They already killed middle class in the past 1 year or so. Now burnedning us even more. While big fishes and boys in uniform pay zero taxes. And enjoy big pensions after retirement but we private employees what do we get? nothing only EOBi pension.

  • These morons can’t tax the elite ones they can only harass salaried class people bunch morons running the country

  • Allah ki lanat ho un sub pe jo sara bojh sirf aur sirf gharibo pe hi dalte hain aur khud Pakistan aur awam ko loot loot kr kha rahe hain.
    Ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen.
