He said Pakistan’s survival is linked to tax collection. “If our tax collection authority does not function properly, it could lead to a security risk. The prime minister urged the nation to come into the tax net, adding that in return he would guarantee that their tax would not be misspent. “I assure you that each and every penny of Pakistanis’ tax collection will be spent with great caution,” he said. He said he could even be open to slashing down taxes to extend the tax net but stressed that “paying taxes should be considered a national duty”.
