ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Prime Minister Imran Khan has that tax evaders are foes of the nation and the country, and they do not deserve any concession.

While presiding over a meeting regarding government’s steps to collect revenue in Islamabad on Tuesday, the prime minister directed to use modern means for tax collection to bring non tax payers to the tax net and to facilitate existing tax payers.

The prime minister said that focus should be made on tax evaders and non-filers instead of harassing regular tax payers.

Imran Khan said that tax evaders and non-tax payers should be exposed before the people. He said that indiscriminate action should be ensured against tax evaders and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) officials who facilitate theft of tax.

Whatever we plan or may do, we first need to do bring our house in order. FBR workers / members need to be audited and assets evaluated. Nothing will happen till majority of the FBR team is clean and fair.
 
Need to get ruthless in this department. Start at the top with the big fish. Some of not many of these people perform multiple Umrah’s in a year, but don’t pay taxes. It is so ludicrous.
