An untenable budget
Listen to article The federal government has laid out an ambitious budget of Rs17.573 trillion for FY26 while pinning its hopes on an exalted growth rate of 4.2%. This euphoric document has come a day after the Economic Survey posted a dismal picture of the economy — all targets were missed for the third consecutive year amid a growth rate of mere 2.7%. The budget proposes a cut in overall spending and banks heavily on tightening tax measures while estimating inflation at 7.5%. The lion's share from the deficit-laden economy goes to debt-servicing, at Rs8.207 trillion. And as foreseen, the defence takes a major share from revenue collection with a 20% rise — at Rs2,550 billion or 1.97% of GDP. The hope-line seems to be an estimated $71 billion in cash flows, $7 billion in taxes and $8 billion in royalties, apart from $5 billion from Reko Diq as well as privatisation of the national flag carrier, PIA, and Roosevelt Hotel in New York. The government is also expecting $25 billion from IT exports over the next five years. Moreover, a surplus in the current account, rise in remittances to the tune of $32 billion and the stability of the rupee are other hallmarks that posits a yearning of the economy's turnaround amidst positive ratings from Moody's and Fitch. The budget has set a tax collection target of Rs14,131 billion, an 8.95% increase from previous year, wherein expenditure of civil administration would be Rs0.97 trillion, pensions Rs1.06 billion, and power and other sectors Rs1.19 billion. The finance minister, while delivering the budget speech, pointed out that 390,000 high-value non-filers of tax were identified and Rs300 million recovered from them, and at the same time the revenue machinery has been able to post a 100% increase in the number of tax filers, taking the revenues to Rs105 billion. A 10% raise in salaries from grade 1-20 employees, a 7% hike in pensions and Rs6,000 allowance for the disabled constitute the only voluble theme of the budget speech. The government also promised to reduce the income tax slabs by balancing inflation and take-home income. An 18% tax on imported solar panels and imposition of taxes on online businesses and digital marketplaces are among the features making the budget anti-growth. However, no new tax on fertiliser and pesticides has been proposed. Similarly, the proposition to reduce the super tax to 5% on corporate sector earning from Rs200 million to Rs500 raises eyebrows given that all other sectors are reeling under pressure. Last but not least, the restive province of Balochistan as well as the merged districts in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, which had a leeway with taxes in the past years, will now have to pay sales tax starting from 10% for five years — and that is not a sound economic initiative. The most startling revelation is the confession from the finance wizard that the revenue machinery lacks the muscle to achieve the tax targets. This means reforms and not statistics or book-keeping should be the focus of the economy.

FBR to get powers akin to SHO; 18% sales tax on e-commerce transactions proposed
Over last few years, market size of e-commerce has enhanced significantly in Pakistan. PHOTO: FILE Listen to article The federal budget for fiscal year 2025-26 has proposed a significant expansion of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) powers, including introducing strict enforcement measures aimed at tightening the tax regime and curbing financial irregularities. According to official sources, the FBR has been granted powers akin to those of a Station House Officer (SHO), enabling it to conduct inspections of chartered accountancy and audit firms involved in preparing income tax returns if discrepancies are suspected in taxpayers' declarations. This will give FBR officers the ability to directly oversee these firms to ensure compliance with tax laws. Those intending to purchase vehicles or immovable property will be required to prove that the declared value of the asset is within 130% of their income as declared in the previous year's tax return. Buyers will be required to submit a formal application to the FBR confirming the availability of funds — either in their own name or that of their spouse or children — and that these were duly declared in their wealth statements.

In cases where financial transactions do not reconcile with tax returns, banks will be obligated to report such customers to the FBR, which will be empowered to initiate enforcement action. Moreover, the FBR will now have the authority to close unregistered bank accounts. Previously, it could only freeze accounts for tax recovery purposes. Under the new law, operating an unregistered bank account will not be permitted, and banks will be required to comply with FBR directives in this regard. The proposed amendments to Section 58C of the Income Tax Ordinance further empower the FBR to access offices of tax advisers and firms responsible for filing returns where discrepancies are suspected. The intent is to verify the basis on which financial records and returns have been prepared.

Under the proposed changes, any person or entity found to be aiding or abetting in tax fraud will be subject to legal prosecution. This includes tax lawyers, consultants, chartered accountants, and firms involved in filing returns, refund claims, or input tax adjustments. Such individuals and firms could also face arrest and prosecution under the new law. The bill also proposes that the FBR be granted the authority to physically monitor the movement of goods, including sugar and other commodities, through an enhanced cargo tracking system. This will ensure that commodities like sugar are being tracked accurately and are in compliance with tax regulations. In a move likely to impact online shoppers, the Finance Bill seeks to impose an 18% sales tax on all e-commerce transactions. Payment collection entities — such as courier companies and banks processing credit and debit card payments — will be designated as withholding agents, responsible for collecting and depositing the tax at the time of delivery. This will significantly increase the cost of online shopping for consumers.

Platforms that fail to comply will face strict action, including blocking of remittances abroad through the State Bank of Pakistan. This move will provide the FBR with more oversight on the advertising revenue being generated through digital platforms and improve tax collection in the digital space. The proposed changes are part of the government's wider efforts to tackle tax evasion and increase tax compliance, particularly in the rapidly growing digital economy.
