Experts propose agricultural tax to boost Pakistan’s economy

PESHAWAR – Renowned agricultural experts have urged the Pakistani government to consider implementing an agricultural tax system to address the country’s economic challenges. This proposal, if implemented thoughtfully, could potentially generate revenue, foster rural development, and enhance the overall fiscal outlook of the nation.

Shahzad Amir Naveed, an agricultural expert and government consultant, advocates for the introduction of taxes on agricultural income. Currently, the agricultural sector remains largely untaxed, contributing to budgetary constraints and economic instability.

“The case for introducing agricultural taxes is undeniable,” Naveed asserts. “By implementing a progressive taxation system, we can ensure that larger landholders with higher agricultural incomes contribute their fair share to the national tax burden. Simultaneously, exemptions or reduced tax rates for small-scale farmers can safeguard their livelihoods and protect their economic well-being.”

Naveed envisions a technology-driven approach to tax administration, leveraging modern tools and systems to ensure transparency and prevent tax evasion. He also proposes earmarking a portion of the agricultural tax revenue for rural development initiatives, including infrastructure improvements and providing farmers with access to advanced agricultural technologies.

While acknowledging the complexities involved, Naveed emphasizes the need for a carefully crafted taxation policy that accommodates the diverse nature of Pakistan’s agricultural landscape, encompassing a wide range of farm sizes and farming practices.

“A well-structured agricultural tax system can serve as a catalyst for economic growth and rural prosperity,” Naveed concludes. “By striking a balance between fiscal responsibility and social equity, we can harness the potential of the agricultural sector to drive national progress.”

  1. Narcissists are always on the hunt for something they are never going to find. They pretend to be someone else to ensnare the victim with deception, lies, pretending to feel one way, when they feel the complete opposite. A Narcissist should not be trusted and are often toxic with an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others feelings, an inability to handle any criticism and a sense of entitlement. I used to think that love could cure anything but it only fed my narc’s enormous ego. It is important to be wise when dealing with a narcissist and I’m glad that worldcyberhackers helped cloned my wife’s phone. I got access to all her dealings both on phone and social media without touching her phone. All I did was share her phone number with Mr James( worldcyberhackers )and I was able to read both her new and deleted messages from my phone through a remote link to a programmed App containing cloned cell information. My Wife was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all her secrets and infidelity with the help of Mr James the PI. I’m finally going through divorce with lots of evidence against her. I read all her deleted and recent chats on Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram. Hacker James also helped me in checking if my phone number is being hacked and he secured all my numbers from unauthorised access with a very powerful encryption software. You can contact this great hacker through his email worldcyberhackers gmail com and You can also call and text his Cellular number on +14242850682 & thank me later for this great information.
