@@reez1728 government should generate income instead of building their personal bank balance when in government ,its very detailed topic and zakat is not personal in fact Hazrat Abu Bakr ra declared jahad against people who said they won’t give zakat to the state instead will distribute themselves and it was against how Rasool Allah SAW did and zakat is specifically allocated to 8 categories e.g musafir,yateem,qarazdar etc but this government is not even trustworthy

The issue with Pakistani brilliant minds is they are good at identifying problems but do not have solutions? Why - because 60% of Pakistan’s economy is under the iron clutches of Army - no body dares to tell them to pay honest taxes or audit books of most of the industries managed by Armed Forces. Nothing is going to change- you will hear same discussion 10 years from now.

38:30 straight facts!!! I tried to open my bank account in three banks in Pakistan and they gave me so much headache that I ended up not doing it. Upon arrival to America as a student, went in on the 2nd day to make an account. Took less than half an hour and literally no effort. Just took the most basic docs and they gave me a bank account, app and everything else I needed. I was so surprised by the Pakistani banks. It's not like Americans are some great people, the banks just understand that the account openers are customers and treat them as such while Pakistani bank managers etc think they are doing you a favor.

Every video of Ammar has something new to offer in terms of concepts and realistic solutions
Instead of Taxing common people, They need to reduce Govt. Expenses by 50%. Then get rid of atleast 50% of the naPak Fouj.. Then Tax the real Estate including DHA and Bahria Towns. then Tax the Fauji Foundation (They have huge industrial units and as a foundation pay very little or no tax at all).. and the most importantly, use TECHNOLOGY!
Simple and clear
Tax Collection Solution of Pakistan 🇵🇰 1) Physical visit all retailers and service providers and collect its business name Owner name Cnic Contact Address And create database 2) calculate its estimated sales for example 10,000 x 30 = 300,000 (estimated sales is variable according to business type size area etc.) 3) Apply 20% on monthly sales for example 300,000 x 20% = 60,000 you got its estimated net income 4) apply 2% business tax for example 60,000 x 2% = 1200 5) add this 1200 in KE bill OR Gas bill 6) Govt got its taxes easily without any problem
Kuch return milyga to tax dety huy b kuch log sochyngy , wrna jo dena chahty b hyn wo b ni dengy
If Government control it's departments from Bhatta / Gunda tax than businesses will pay government tax. He is asking for monthly tax while these commercial businesses are paying taxes on daily basis to govt. Institutions. If they show their transactions by accepting digital payments then these institutions will be more threatening and demanding. Govt. Needs to change his mindset from threatening & penalizing to facilitating & supporting to Tax payers. What facilitation / prioritization has government announced for the tax payers in this budget? Nothing, then why anyone pay tax ? When everything he has to do through ownsources.... The list is long but time is short....
Really enjoy Ammar interviews.
Gov ki luxuries pe koi tax nahi, sirf salaried person pe tax, aur awam easy load, petrol, bijli har chez pe tax deta hai !!!!

I really like the positive approach of Ammar. At least the guy is optimistic about something, not like some who thinks its a doomsday and the progress if almost impossible.

And the govt in Karachi has to perform and do something for the public if they see changes on the ground people will happily pay taxes, the reason people don’t pay taxes is cuz they’ve completely lost faith in the system … but people should also care about their cities and be more active and try make changes too … Pakistani people just need to change their mindset and worry about making our lives better instead of fighting over religion and politics and ethnicity and the upper class and middle class that are educated have to take initiative first
No Pakistani wants to invest in Pakistan, why in the hell would any country invest. The other problem is foreign invested can't take their money out of the country in dollars. Also insurgency, terrorism and bureaucratic corruption

As an overseas, I tried to open a bank account and gave up. Despite several attempts to comply with all the documentation and requirements.
When the general public sees lavish spending of civil and military bureaucracy and the ministers as well as MNA, MPA, and senators they think their taxes are being wasted. And the public doesn't get any facilities such as policing, justice, health and education.

I think the only issue is tax education. Govt needs to run ads mentioning. Your tax will only be Rs. 1k etc per month. A a general perception , we only think that imposed taxation will not let us live
What good do tax collecting achieve if the drain by theft and squandering is not brought under control first.?

Several Videos being uploaded in recent past for TAX ISSUE, Yes it is an Issue to collect around 13,000 Billion Rs of Targeted TAX for FY 2024-25. A very simple question arises here that Pakistan has received around 180 US B$ on A/c of REMITTANCES, (30 US B$ Annually), 50 US B$ incurred on DEBT & Exported Goods of Approx 180 US B$ (30 US B$ Annually), Except Charaties, AID, GRANTS & TAX COLLECTION FIGURES, during the Last Six Years from July 2018 to June 2024. Where these INFLOWS of 410 US B$ have been Consumed & EVAPORATED, i request to 250 Million People of Pakistan to prepare an INCOME STATEMENT of 410 US B$, & We are begging of 8 US B$ from IMF, ASTONISHING VERY ASTONISHING. From August 2018 to April 2022 PTI GOVT was the Ruler, From May 2022 to February 2024 INTERIM GOVT of PDM was Governed & till then PMLN is Ruling. Who will be Answerable & Accountable. Allah Pakistan par reham karay.
