ISLAMABAD: The <\/span>upcoming <\/span>tax <\/span>relief <\/span>package <\/span>proposed <\/span>by <\/span>Pakistan <\/span>is <\/span>now <\/span>set <\/span>to <\/span>mainly <\/span>focus <\/span>on <\/span>relief <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>salaried <\/span>class <\/span>amid <\/span>ongoing <\/span>deliberations <\/span>with <\/span>the <\/span>International <\/span>Monetary <\/span>Fund <\/span>(IMF<\/a>) <\/span>shaping <\/span>the <\/span>country’s <\/span>fiscal <\/span>policy <\/span>direction. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While <\/span>a <\/span>broader <\/span>reduction <\/span>across <\/span>sectors <\/span>was <\/span>initially <\/span>anticipated, <\/span>the <\/span>IMF <\/span>appears <\/span>to <\/span>have <\/span>been <\/span>resistant <\/span>on <\/span>this <\/span>count, <\/span>limiting <\/span>the <\/span>policy <\/span>space <\/span>for <\/span>the <\/span>government <\/span>and <\/span>nudging <\/span>policymakers <\/span>towards <\/span>targeted <\/span>instead <\/span>of <\/span>blanket <\/span>tax <\/span>cuts. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>particular, <\/span>the <\/span>proposal <\/span>emphasizes <\/span>tax <\/span>relief <\/span>to <\/span>the <\/span>middle-tier <\/span>salary <\/span>earners, <\/span>especially <\/span>the <\/span>middle-income <\/span>group <\/span>falling <\/span>between <\/span>the <\/span>income <\/span>brackets <\/span>of <\/span>Rs <\/span>200,000 <\/span>and <\/span>Rs <\/span>300,000. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Relief <\/span>to the <\/span>corporate <\/span>sector, <\/span>reduction <\/span>in <\/span>super <\/span>tax, <\/span>and <\/span>changes <\/span>in <\/span>dividend <\/span>withholding <\/span>tax, <\/span>according <\/span>to <\/span>sources, <\/span>are <\/span>now <\/span>unlikely <\/span>to <\/span>be <\/span>part <\/span>of <\/span>the <\/span>package <\/span>given <\/span>the <\/span>current <\/span>constraints <\/span>being <\/span>faced <\/span>by <\/span>the <\/span>government <\/span>under <\/span>the <\/span>IMF <\/span>program. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
