Even though many of the PTI members of the Punjab Assembly pay their federal taxes, there are also some interesting cases who don’t pay, or don’t file their Income Tax Returns. Perhaps, this may be the prime reason that their record is not found in the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) data. Still some of them, according to the statistics available with The News, paid zero tax in year 2015, and also in years 2013 and 2014 for reasons best known to them.

Interestingly, all these members of the Provincial Assembly, like their colleagues on the treasury benches receive regular salary from the national exchequer, and are supposed to pay federal Income Tax, deducted at source. But the record doesn’t tally with the federal tax directory.
