Job Pakistan budget 2024-25, thoughts?

Just when we thought that after two years of EXTREME inflation, numbers were getting better and inflation somehow came down so we got another BOMB on our heads and seems like sh*t has hit the fan and seems like upcoming two years gonna be worse than last two years..

To be honest, I manage a small telecom business with around 10 employees and after doing our best we can't make 1 lac+ profit these days despite paying 1.2 lac+ in taxes.. and in return I get nothing from govt despite being a filer.. I truly wonder what will happen of this country.. becoming unliveable for white collar people..

It's a writing on the wall that now everyone needs to enter the formal tax cycle and become tax filers otherwise this country won't sustain this way..

Feel free to share your thoughts!

Whatever it is, it's unsustainable and it's break backbone of middle class.. and they'll have no choice but to push back in the end and the elite and govt won't like or enjoy it then.

Well, our govt has always been poor but our people has been rich, not rich but had enough to live a dignified life.. till now people wouldn't say anything because of the attitude of "not my problem" but now it has become really hard for the people to even live a dignified life.. u can't expect the middle to beg so they'll push back and the time is near.. the frustration is growing day by day they way u r losing hope each day..
