Shaukat Tareen has said that FBR has achieved the tax target of Rs 6,000 billion.
Former Finance Minister Shaukat Tareen said in a message on Twitter that congratulations were made possible due to strong economic growth and tax policies of FBR and PTI.
He said that the existing taxes should not be re-imposed on the productive sectors of the economy and should not go back to over-taxing policies.
Shaukat Tareen said that another major achievement of the PTI government was that the FBR achieved the tax target of Rs 6,000 billion.
Well done FBR. This was possible due to the strong economic growth and progressive tax policies of PMIK lead PTI. Bravo FBR, Bravo PTI. Now let’s not go back to regressive tax policies of taxing the already taxed and overtaxing the productive sectors of the economy https://t.co/x25tZLSZI2

On the other hand, Muzammil Aslam has said in a message released on Twitter that the shut-up call is for those who said that Rs 6100 billion tax will not be collected, secondly for those who said that direct taxes are not increasing.
He said that income tax was increased by 31% and sales tax by 28%. If petrol and sales tax had been collected, the collection would have been Rs 6.5 trillion.
Congratulations FBR, PTI & shaukat_tarin for achieving Rs6,000 bn tax and all set to cross Rs6,100 target. This is 1s time in 20 years FBR have surpassed not only its target but also added 2% tax to GDP. That without increase in tax rate. Imported govt should learn from PTI.
