Rightly said, but also try to understand that it does not matter to General Public that whether FED goes in the pockets of car assemblers or Govt. They are concerned with the overall, on-road prices of cars, which have gone too high.
This was because, the cars were affordable, demand was high and supply was limited, that's why the cars could get sold, however, now they have grown too expensive, that business / own money to duur ki baat, log instalments p b lainay ko tyaar nai!
Just have a look at many recent ads by Toyota Indus Pakistan, almost begging / luring General public to buy cars on loans by Bank Alfalah, then free registration offers on 1.3L variants, etc.
Now that's really a sad Dilemma!
Rightly said and 100% Agreed Sir!
Sometimes, I do not understand that if we are not paying taxes, and true amount of taxes (not under invoicing, etc.), then how would our country work? How would Govt. be able to manage its expenses, etc.?
Tax evasion / choori ki, I think, max. penalty honi chaheye, but at the same time, I am also of the opinion that rates of taxes should be such that every person pays taxes; and happily pays taxes.
There is 0% tax, Govt. can not function, there is 100% tax, Govt. can not function (as no one will do anything; all will think that when 100% of our income is going to the Govt., then why work?). There is a specific overall amount of tax for Govt.s to run, and it varies from country to country, below that limit, or above that limit, Govt. suffers losses.
If on 01-12-2019, there is no tax on some abc service, product, etc. and on 02-12-2019, there is almost 16%-17% tax on the very same product / service, then think for yourself, who will pay such tax?
And no one thinks that whenever taxes are introduced, its the general public, consumer / end user, which ultimately suffers, and suffers the most!
And along with many other reasons, one of the major reasons that foreign investors do not believe and not willing to invest in our country; ever changing, and abruptly changing Govt. policies! When Govt. wants foreign investors, it relaxes / revises its policies, and when the investors come, it again revises its policies, that it become difficult for new investors to do their business and compete in the market.
I do not think Renault, Nissan, etc. are coming to Pakistan any time sooner.
