UNJUSTIFIED TOOL TAXES
———————————-
The NHA has refused to reduce the rates of tool taxes even in spite of serious protest made by the members of national assembly and the members of the standing committee
Of National Assembly.It is said that Chairman NHA has get passed the summary of increase in the tool taxes directly from Prime Minister of Pakistan without the notice of National Assembly.
Generally the tool taxes are collected for the repairing of motorways,highways and bridges over rivers and canal and ten times sufficient amount are earned per year than compare to 10 % expenditures on the repairing of national highways roads and bridges and remaining amount is being kept in reserved account for the completion of major types projects in future
But here , it is observed in this Islamic country of Pakistan that the relatives and friends of sourceful politicians and members of parliaments have set up illegally tool taxes plaza at every five to ten miles on the highway and earning amount of tool taxes are not being deposited in the government account but they gulp such amount.
Now long journey by road in private or rented cars from Islamabad to Lahore,Multan, Sukkur, Karachi, Quetta etc is now become most expensive than compare the fares of planes and trains
It should be note by the Government of Pakistan that Most of the people of Pakistan are not made intercity journey
For entertainments purpose, but they made intercity journeys for the emergency purpose ie for seeing their relatives patients or for attending jinaza of their death relatives .
It is also observed that the working staff at tool tax plaza are of goond type and arrogant type persons. Some often they break the wind screens of the cars.Such type of goonda gardi can not be tolerated by income taxes payees citizens of Pakistan.
Hence in the light of the abovementioned facts, it is most necessary to improve the working system of all tool plazas in Pakistan . in this connection, The following suggestions are most useful for the improving of the working system of tool plazas.
1)- There should be made 10 Nos of Tool plazas from karachito Peshawar at every 100 Miles of distance.
2)- All the plazas should be computerized and they should issue authentic receipts to the vehicles owners.
3)- Drastic action should be taken against all unathorised and bogus tool plazas on the highway
4)- SEALED boxes of complaints boxes should be erected at all complaints boxes for dropping complaints in the boxes by the vehicles owners.
5)- well educated of good moral characters employees should be posted at tool plazas.
I hope that by adopting the abovementioned suggestions , the working system of tool plazas will be improved to some extent.
