Nawaz misleading people with hefty tax claims: Imran

Reacting to a statement by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif that his family paid Rs 920 million in taxes in 1990, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday said it was a deliberate attempt by Nawaz to mislead the people.
Talking to PTI Secretary Information Shafqat Mahmood from New York where Imran is on a visit, the PTI chief said per FBR records, the declared income of Nawaz Sharif for the year 1990-91 was only Rs 249,537, upon which he paid a tax of Rs 51,318. Shahbaz Sharif had an income of Rs 271,638 in the same year, 1990-91, upon which he paid Rs 53,482 as income tax.
“Thus both brothers in total paid Rs 140,008 as income tax in the year they took money from Younas Habib. Where has the figure of Rs 920 million that the Sharif family had supposedly paid as tax came from,” Imran said. Imran said there were two notable features of the statement by Nawaz – first he was mixing together sales tax, central excise duty or other corporate taxes that are not paid by individuals but by corporations.
“There is no way of verifying whether the Sharif’s companies paid this amount of corporate tax or not. What is equally mystifying is that if indeed the Sharifs paid Rs 920 million in taxes, why were the incomes of Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif so meagre. They have both declared approximately Rs 500,000 as their combined income for the financial year 1990-91. If their family-owned companies were paying such heavy amounts in corporate taxes, where has the income gone?” The PTI chairman said after flip-flopping on the issue of investigation by FIA and Nisar Ali Khan criticising the Supreme Court, Nawaz was now ready for investigation by it. “This is a good development but it is important that FIA’s terms of reference are wide enough to allow a thorough probe into irregularities in the Mehrangate Scandal. While Nawaz is calling Younas Habib a criminal, was it not the first Nawaz government that gave him a licence to launch Mehran Bank?” Imran said. He said it also needed be investigated if Mehran Bank gave Rs 200 million to the Sharifs and if it was still unpaid? The collusion between the Sharifs and Younas Habib should be an important part of the investigation by FIA, Imran said.

Imran distorted Nawaz’s tax payment facts: PML-N

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesman Senator Pervaiz Rasheed on Friday said PTI chief Imran Khan distorted facts regarding tax figures presented by PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif. In an interview on Thursday, Nawaz had claimed that his business concerns had deposited tax of more than Rs 920 million in the government exchequer in 1990. Rasheed said Nawaz’s statement was based on truth and if Imran Khan did not accept its correctness, he should approach the court and “we will present documentary proof and will prove him wrong”. He said Imran, who objected to the taxes of Nawaz, lived in a house spread over 300 kanals and he should tell the nation how much tax had he paid in 1990. Rasheed asked Imran what activities he was engaged in on the day the Muslims from all over the world were stoning the Satan during haj.

  1. It is custom of PMLN and Sharif brothers to conceal facts and present wrong info to public. They tell lies in front of media. We have seen it many times like in case of their "secret" deal with Musharraf. First they kept on saying that there was not deal. But as the things started coming out they accepted it as 5 years deal, then 8 years deal and finally accepted that it was 10 years deal. And I am pretty much sure that same would happen in case of recent Asghar Khan Case. Currently they are denying that they have got any money in 1990 election.

  3. Will someone, anyone,….. tell the PML-N lot the difference between PERSONAL income tax and CORPORATE taxation. Preferably in a langauge they speak in, as it seems they are having enormous difficulty grasping very basic ideas….

How can you brand him corrupt when he hasnt hold a public job or looted money from banks or govt! get a life and get some other job instead of lowering your self to a paid troller of PMLN!

Idiot if your mum get cancer in pk, where can you take her for treatment, did you nawaz or zardari made any single cancer hospital, Shame on you and go die if you have any insainty.

  5. I have saw Sharif on TV showing off some documents of paying taxes. They know the difference between sales tax , corporate or company tax and person tax, but they intentially try to fool people of Pakistan and insult their intellegence!
    Grow up Shareefs, atleast like you grew hairs!

  6. They intentionally try to fool the people of Pakistan,thats what you guys keep saying.Lets take a look then shall we,It was the Sharifs in the early 90's,then came the PPP,then the PPP came back in power in the mid to late 2000's till now,right??? Frankly,the people of Pakistan deserve to be insulted for keep voting for the same s*h*i*t*b*a*g*s.These political parties aren't trying any more,they have been making a fool out of you people for years now,question is,are you going to let them do it any more???? I don't see it,look around you,PML-N and PPP have millions of supporters.You can call me names if you like,it won't change the outcome,no matter how you cut it or slice it,you will remain a fool until you bring in someone other then these heartless and careless thiefs.I know,I know the truth hurts and it bites.

  7. Imran Khan what do you want to proof by criticising and personnel baseless allegation on mian Nawaz Sharief.how your cheap meentality and how you have rubbish character,you are new comer in Pakistan politics and try to play positive games not nude and faked politics you adopt,be mature and do not tatget mian Bros on the foreign dictations.Check yourself what bad qualities you have,you ought not be eligible public places.

    • teri maan key kush maron. Why should IK not show the corruption of mian brothers. Why shoudl we not see the brothers being run by PML and PPP. You wish that all corruptions of pk politican be undefined? why are you one of the beneficiary dog.

  8. Two persons are deadly against Nawaz Sharif for any reason. One is Imran Khan and the other one who considers himself spokesman of Sindh is Sharjeel Memon. This minion has been tasked by his chief to do nothing but to hurl 'agreement' signed by NS during Mush's dictatorship.

  9. The Sharif`s are in politics to make money, so its bit stupid to expect them to actually pay taxes and lose money. Only the very naive(of which there is many in Pak) would believe any different.

  11. FIA should investigate about their wealth right from the time they entered into politics. They are businessmen and not politicians. They have enormous wealth both in Pakistan and abroad. People will be shocked if investigations are carried out in a fair and sincere way.

  12. ALL POLITICIANS worldover are corrupt ..NAWAZ NO EXCEPTION ..BUT IMRANKHAN NIAZI LIVING OFF JEWISH GAMLERS TIP IS MEGA CORRUPT KAAFIR FIRANGIGULAM.. IMRANKHAN NIAZI SHOULD TALK POLICIES –NOT GARBAGES .. IMRANKHAN NIAZI STILL VISITS NIGHTCLUBS EVEN AGED 61YRS OLD .. MORALLY CORRUPTASWELL ..

  13. Like sharif, Ishrtat ul abad, rasiani, Qaim ali shah , hina khar , hammyun abdul rehman leghari brothers all are doing same. why IK has only sharif phobia in his mind or his task only to push them with wall??

    • Because Nawaz is founder of corruption in Pakistan. His father bribed Governor Jilani with 10000 rupees in 1981( a very big money in those days) to get his son inducted as Finance Minister, and then saga of corruption started in Pakistan.

      • That is why i call you people dangerous duffer that you were not recalling that at that time Zia was buying all kinds of dhor dangar of politics from Pakistan Via General Gillani..if he was not offered they would have gone to some more funny character.this was high time for crooks like sharif to dump their duffer kid in this game of ruling elites and he just availed this privileges provided to them by our duffer idiots who were in mission of spreading jihad war germs in typical areas of Pakistan.So for business man 1 LAC Rupees were just like peanuts to fix their dirty eggs and credit goes to military establishment that how fairly he trimmed this idiot into huge politician of Pakistan just as they fabricated Zardai in biggest political game of Pakistan's history.
        try to lubricate your dry cells of brain that what is root cause of bringing Shairf in Politics and who were real one behind him

        • PPP has been fighting against army rule and remember who was hanged and wo was killed, not NGO type so called civil society bu poor duffer workeres of PPP. Zardari's policy have saved democracy for 5 years. If he had not become president, there wud have been third elections coming up by now and a third govt during last 5 years because of anti-democracy military machinations. Credit of giving 5 yrs of democracy go to him, no matter whatever troubles were on the way.

          • This is time of inactive general and 2ndly out of control war on terror is going on in our side.Third USA is not happy with our ruling elite so they are joining hands to face the wrath of masters.4th reason is this time shairf is not in alliance with army generals as they had history in past or may be some other underground reason of defiance of military orders in his account.
            But your reply is quite out of track what I have responded you.When Zardari will be out you will get the detail of deal that how much was given to people like general gillani to fit this worst character of politics of Pakistan in President house.

  14. Sharifs: The notorious tax evaders must be brought in the ring of law for swallowing billions of this nation.

  15. What I don't understand is that why some blame the Sharifs while others are blaming Imran Khan,does anyone care to talk about the PPP,mainly Zardari,talk about corruption,our government offices are infested with corruption,our leaders being accused of taking money,giving money,making money,hiding money,stealing money and on and on and on.Start from our President,his late wife,need I say more.So while you accuse other leaders of being corrupt,your very isn't a angel boy.All these filthy politicians have ruined this country,when are we going to wake up and smell the coffee? When do we take this to the road and demand accountability? Yes you can do it,do you think the government can hold back 183 million people,I don't think so.We don't need elections,you need a revolution to totally cleanse this government and system.

    • @Asma Fiazi. Who appointed you as the moral authority on judging other people's sins? Sounds to me like IK refused to take you to bed and now you are just venting your anger. Unless you can back up your claims with proof, please refrain your self from passing judgement on others.
