ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday urged citizens to play their role in the country’s progress and development by paying due taxes. “Expanding the tax base will help cut the burden of additional taxes and provide educational, health and basic facilities in far-flung areas,” Prime Minister Khan said, calling the tax payment a national duty. He said it is vital to restore taxpayers’ trust in the tax authority, calling for making the tax system transparent. At the meeting, the prime minister and the FBR and NADRA chiefs discussed tax measures to widen the tax net. PM Khan said Pakistan’s economy is strengthening at a fast pace but some elements are unhappy with the progress.
