Corporate Tax Reforms in Pakistan
Tax policy plays an important part in inclusive growth, incomes and wealth redistribution. Owing to a narrow tax base in Pakistan, the ability of taxes to alter distribution of incomes in favour of the poorest income quintiles has been limited. This paper specifically makes a case where private sector has been realizing anticipated profits however their rising incomes did not result in progressive changes in tax contribution. The ability of tax administrative machinery to check evasion has also remained weak.
Another important matter is how a distortive tax policy is preventing entry of new firms and investments which can potentially create greater competition and enhance consumer surplus. Since 2007 Pakistan’s economy has been witnessing low levels of investment. Despite low interest rates, the private sector credit has not picked up. The exports have declined during a period when Pakistan enjoys preferential market access from the European Union and the United States. While large firms operating domestically continue to growth, the survival and growth of new firms is weak.
According to several recent studies, part of the answer to this problem may lies in the way taxes are helping cartelization through exemptions and preferences in the direct (corporate) tax structure. We discuss this view in the light of recent tax directory published by the Federal Board of Revenue. Making use of the key informant interviews and focus group discussions involving the business community, tax officials, trade and consumer associations, we present some recommendations for the reform of corporate taxation in Pakistan.

Solution
Answer 1). According to World Bank report Pakistan ranks fourth in terms of value (4.2 billion
dollars) with the same global market share as Sri Lanka, although apparel’s share of total country
exports is lower at 19 percent. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has not played an important role;
in the apparel sector, the share of foreign-owned firms is estimated to be less than 2 percent, and
only slightly higher in the textile sector. Wages and working conditions are better in the formal
industry than in the large cottage sector, but short term or temporary contracts are widely used,
particularly for women. The September 2012 factory fire in Karachi recently highlighted poor
safety standards in the country. Pakistan can benefit from the following policies: increase
product diversity by reducing barriers on imports so as to ease access to manmade fibers (such as
duty and tax remission for exports, and export processing zones); attract foreign direct
investment (FDI) by adopting policies to reduce red tape and increase transparency to close the
gap with South Asian countries whose textile and apparel industries are located primarily on the
coast; diversify markets by taking advantage of access to emerging markets; shorten lead times
by improving road infrastructure to facilitate access to ports for exporting firms; shorten lead
times by clustering strategies to provide key infrastructure and common facilities; enhance
perceptions of stability as many buyers will not travel to Pakistan, which makes sourcing
complicated.
Answer 2) Pakistan has slipped three places on the Word Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index
and is now ranked a lowly 147th among 190 economies, denting the government’s pro-business
image ahead of next general elections.
The index is mostly used as a guide by foreign investors to learn more about a country, aiding
decisions on pouring in money in the economy.
Pakistan, however, slipped from its last year’s rating despite the introduction of some reforms in
areas of starting a business and making international trade relatively easier. If one government
department is to be blamed for the overall poor performance, it is the Ministry of Finance, as the
country’s ranking nosedived on the indicators of paying taxes and getting credit.
The World Bank released the Doing Business 2018 report on Tuesday that covers 190 economies
and measures how close each economy is to global best practices in business regulations.

Creating a Place for the Future: Toward a New Development Approach for the Is...Philip Auerswald
For six decades, Pakistan has faced, and overcome, conflict and calamity. Despite many obstacles, the country’s economy has grown steadily. At critical junctures, successive governments have adopted strategies suited to the circumstances of the day, and the nation has developed steadily due to these particular well-conceived initiatives. Yet, as a consequence of the reactive nature of policy formulation and implementation, the institutions of government are conditioned to think in terms of projects rather than strategies to support growth.
Today Pakistan confronts a new round of immediate challenges and urgent demands. Yet, it is precisely at this moment of apparent crisis—in the aftermath of a devastating flood and with security concerns continuing to dominate the national agenda—that the need to change the discourse about the country’s development has become most apparent. Reactive tactics and dependence on external aid are not helping Pakistan to develop or to realize its potential.
Sustained and sustainable development cannot come from a collection of projects, no matter how well intended. A New Development Approach is needed: Building markets. Building opportunity. Building cities. Building good governance. Including youth.
To realize Pakistan’s 21st-century potential, the nation’s political and business leaders must not only meet the demands of the present, but also—and perhaps more importantly—create a space for the future.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
