flag Pakistan cracks down on tax evasion by monitoring social media and boosting whistleblower rewards.

flag Pakistan’s tax system is under strain as nearly half of taxpayers in 2024 and over 40% in 2025 declared zero income despite living lavishly, with officials citing luxury homes, vehicles, and international travel. flag To combat widespread evasion, the Federal Board of Revenue is launching a social media monitoring unit to identify wealth discrepancies through public posts and is proposing to raise whistleblower rewards from Rs5 million to Rs150 million on a graduated scale. flag The reforms aim to leverage informal networks, ensure confidentiality, and improve compliance without retroactive audits, aligning with global practices in a cash-heavy economy with weak digital tracking.
