It was further written that by avoiding tax payments and getting an exemption, rich people pressure every incoming government to continue their affairs in fiscal deficit and reduce social and economic infrastructure costs and increase the tax burden on the rest of the country.
These are very serious charges which were leveled against the Federal Board of Revenue. It was said that tax collectors help the criminals and get financial benefits in return.
FBR has taken strict notice of editorial. Lets’ see if any explanation is sought from the newspaper or not.
