How FBR Failed Pakistan’s Taxpayers | Kamran Khan | On My Radar

Pakistan collects barely 9% tax-to-GDP, runs a 45% cash-based economy, and lags far behind regional peers in digitisation. At the centre of this crisis stands the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) widely seen as the single biggest driver of Pakistan’s massive undocumented economy. In today’s On My Radar, former Finance and Planning Minister and ex-corporate CEO Asad Umar delivers a blunt, insider assessment of what went wrong and what must change. Drawing on his dual experience in government and the corporate world, he exposes deep failures in administrative management, integrity, transparency, and enforcement, and explains why cosmetic reforms won’t work. This is a hard conversation about power, resistance, political will, and why Pakistan keeps taxing the same people while the real economy stays invisible. If Pakistan wants growth, investment, and jobs, FBR reform is unavoidable.
