VAT bill, taxpayers are not allowed to go to any court, including the high court to seek remedy against the order passed by an officer of Inland Revenue. “A taxpayer should be allowed to go to any court of law and if the case is decided in favour of the taxpayer the tax official concerned should be penalised,î the FPCCI suggested.

Unlimited power has been given to the tax officials for recovery of outstanding amount, including raid on business premises without serving prior notice. he VAT is a requirement set by the IMF for Pakistan when it agreed to an emergency package of $7.6 billion in November 2008 to avert a balance of payments crisis and shore up reserves.

Whole sectors of the economy, including agriculture, do not pay tax and the IMF is pressing the government to increase its revenue. It wants the government to use the VAT to raise its tax-to-GDP ratio by 3 to 4 percentage points. Some analysts said improperly educated tax collectors would be unable to fill out the extensive documentation required to process the VAT, which would mean the money would not eventually go to the government.

UN Days, Weeks and Years > International Days and Weeks

Since the early days of the United Nations system, the UN has established a set of Days and Weeks (as listed below), Years and Decades to help focus the world on the issues in which the UN has an interest and commitment. The UN calls on Member States and other organizations to mark these days in ways which reflect their priorities.

Sometimes the promotion of a specific day is led by a specific UN agency or programme, for example the World Health Organization (WHO) leads World Health Day and World No-Tobacco Day, UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) leads World Water Day and International Literacy Day, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) leads World Environment Day etc.
