Burden

October 21, 2019

A Supreme Court honorable judge while hearing an appeal remarked that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is turning into a burden for the government while employing more than 22,000 people just to collect 20 percent of taxes with more than 80 percent of the taxes being indirect.

According to a news report published on March 21, 2019, the National Assembly Standing Committee for Law and Justice was informed that there are 1.8 million cases pending in various courts of Pakistan.
