A Clarion Call to the Pakistani Parliamentarians..!
Subject: Urgent Action Needed to Protect Salaried Class from Tax Burden
Dear Members of the National Assembly and Senate,
اسلام وعلیکم
We write to express our deep concern regarding the proposed increase in taxation on salaried income in the upcoming 2024-25 budget. This measure will cause significant hardship for a segment of society that already shoulders a significant tax burden.
We urge you to reconsider this proposal and instead advocate for the reallocation of unnecessary government expenditures. In particular, we recommend reevaluating the proposed budget allocation of Rs. 75 billion for parliamentarians. Additionally, we propose a review of plans for increased spending on new cars and renovations for government residences and offices, including those of the president, prime minister, governors, and governments guest houses.
Reallocating these funds would provide much-needed relief to salaried individuals and families. Unlike other segments of society, salaried workers can not pass on tax increases to consumers. We implore you to prioritize the well-being of this vital group and ensure a more equitable distribution of the tax burden.
Your this gesture will enhance your dignity and respect in the eyes of the masses and strengthen belief in the democracy.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
For and on behalf of the salaried class of Pakistan
