The United States has announced a 2 trillion budget package for its people, and they are directly sending money by post. In Pakistan, a 3k pkr is to be given to people, not sure how will this amount reach the needy individuals. There has to be a direct method, like the government should deliver it by post, because none of the government officials clarifies, that how are they going to deliver that money to the needy individuals. Although the United States has some condition, people who are making less than 75000 per year, which means less than Pakistani 10 lakh per month, then they will be given the 1200 dollar amount. Although the United States is the worlds biggest economy, even then most of these payments can only cover people’s rent, cars rent utilities etc.
For this information, the united states treasury will check the filers of 2019 and 2018, in Pakistan most of the people do not want to become tax filers that is the main issue. If the government has to give the money, then what procedure they had to follow. Because only businessmen in Pakistan become the tax filers, since they have to save taxes. A normal daily wager might not have a bank account, but a salaried person would, even then that person who is making 70k pkr would not be wanting to become the tax filer. Government has to break the non-tax filer and filer programme, they have to make every citizen filer by default. Although, that would lift the kind of taxes that are imposed on non-filers. But this would also clarify certain aspects in FBR that which and which have been making lesser and which and which are making higher incomes.
