Lahore, April 09, 2019 (PPI-OT): Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has said that timely payment of taxes is a national obligation while its correct utilization is the responsibility of the state. The taxation process is like a gateway to development and taxable people should play their role in national development by paying the taxes. In his message on Tax Day, the Chief Minister said that the purpose of celebrating this day is to raise public awareness about payment of taxes.
In the new Pakistan, national resources are being utilized with utmost care and honesty for public development. On the other hand, national resources were siphoned off during the previous tenures which impeded national development. The plunder of resources delayed the journey of development in the past, he added.
Usman Buzdar said that resources are being utilized prudently to provide better services to the people because the PTI government treats recourses as a national trust. Today, we should reiterate the commitment that taxes will be paid honestly for development and prosperity of the country, the Chief Minister concluded.
