Pakistan launches social media monitoring to catch tax evaders among influencers and celebrities.
Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue has launched a 40-member Lifestyle Monitoring Cell to combat tax evasion by tracking social media activity on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
The unit identifies individuals, including influencers and celebrities, whose lavish lifestyles—such as high-end weddings featuring drones, diamond jewelry, and international planners—appear inconsistent with declared incomes.
Using public posts, tagged vendors, and timestamps, investigators compile digital evidence to support potential tax or money laundering probes.
The initiative aims to improve Pakistan’s low tax collection, with less than 2% of citizens paying income tax, and meet fiscal targets under an IMF-backed budget.
The effort marks a shift from past failures, leveraging social media’s transparency to generate faster, more reliable leads.
