ISLAMABAD: The government has failed to bring all members of parliament into the tax net as 97 legislators did not file their tax returns on a voluntary basis in the tax year 2017. By this definition, it appears that all parliamentarians are liable to file tax returns. “We will issue notices to them in case they do not file their tax returns,” he said. According to the tax directory, six senators did not file their tax returns for 2017 as against 12 in 2016. As many as 74 members of the provincial assemblies (MPAs) did not file their tax returns in the tax year 2017 as against 110 MPAs in the tax year 2016.
