Mr Lap Top you are right that many persons who are liable to pay tax do not pay tax. The number of tax payers is only about one million iin Pakistan. Government has many options to broad the tax net. But it is not logical to levy withholding tax on mobile cards.
According to principles laid down by Economists to levy tax withholding tax can be levied on the persons or class of persons who are assumed to be liable to pay tax on the purchase of goods and services purchase by them.
you know that even teenagers,children and low income person purchase
mobile cards etc .
