Pakistan’s salaried class paid 127% more in taxes than the property sector, highlighting the significant disparity in tax contributions between the two segments of the economy.
The figures have reignited debate over Pakistan’s tax structure, with experts calling for broader tax reforms to ensure a more balanced distribution of the tax burden across different sectors. Economists argue that widening the tax base and improving compliance could help reduce pressure on salaried individuals while increasing overall government revenue.
The latest data underscores the growing reliance on salaried taxpayers as a major source of direct tax collection.
