- In tax year 2025, 2.262 million out of 5.912 million returns reported no taxable income, posing a significant challenge for tax authorities.
- High nil-filing rates span individuals, associations of persons, and corporations, with 77% of corporate returns declaring zero income.
- A stark contrast exists between reported incomes and extravagant lifestyles, highlighting enforcement weaknesses and data integration issues.
- Despite policy efforts to curb non-filers, junk returns remain common, undermining the effectiveness of the tax collection system.
The existing policy encourages people to submit tax returns without paying taxes to benefit from reduced tax rates.— A senior tax officer told Dawn about the issues in Pakistan's tax system.
