At a press conference in Islamabad, Muhammad Aurangzeb
stated that a consultative process is underway to improve the budget scheme and
that policies must be formulated that consider the needs of different social
classes and sectors.
He added that it is crucial to include all social classes in
Pakistan, as the country's system cannot function while ignoring any of them. It
is the government's responsibility to provide a simple and efficient system for
a country with a population of 250 to 260 million, and making the system simple
and effective for the population is the government's top priority.
The finance minister indicated that the tax scheme has been
simplified and is optional for small business owners. If they wish, they can
opt for the regular tax system instead of this scheme.
Muhammad Aurangzeb noted that significant changes have been
introduced in the new scheme for business owners and that a clear distinction
has been established between small business owners and other business sectors.
The government is working to integrate all social classes
into the tax system, and no class should complain about paying more taxes than
others. The Minister of Finance called on businesses to adhere to the new plan
and take full advantage of its benefits.
Necessary measures will be taken against those who do not
participate. The government's objective is to integrate all business sectors
into the national tax system and ensure their inclusion in the fiscal
framework. Cooperation from relevant stakeholders is essential for the success
of the new plan.
