Ishaq Dar Reveals Parliamentarians Have Been Paying Their Taxes

It was reported from Islamabad that the current minister for finance and revenue, Ishaq Dar, came out in the open and stated that all the parliamentarians have been paying their taxes.

There have always been cases over corruption and fraud in terms of taxes and several people believe that the political leaders and different parliamentarians don’t actually pay the right amount of taxes.

However, Ishaq Dar has come out in the open and stated that all such rumours are false and currently every single parliamentarian has paid his/her tax. He stated that the tax was deducted from their salaries. These parliamentarians include the ones who are working in the National Assembly, Senate and all the other four provincial assemblies.

While speaking to the senate, Ishaq Dar said that claims which suggest that the parliamentarians are not paying their taxes are false. He further added that this is just a misunderstanding between different political leaders and they should understand that every single parliamentarian was charged with the right amount of tax.

He also said that this issue has been discussed in the Public Account Committee.

While summing up his conversation, Ishaq Dar said that in total there are only 12% parliamentarians who have not yet taken their National Tax Number.
