Revolutionary Tax Success: Government collected Rs85 Billion tax from Non-Filers in Just Six Months. Tax authorities have successfully amassed Rs85 billion over a six-month period, primarily through levies on cash withdrawals and electricity usage from non-filers. Interestingly, the concentration of non-compliance appears to be most prominent in major urban centers, specifically Karachi and Lahore. A substantial 60% of the Rs85 billion collection derived from these non-filers is attributed to Karachi and Lahore, the country's largest cities. With high urbanization rates, these areas host eight out of 25 Federal Board of Revenue field offices, emphasizing the strategic importance of these locations. To tackle non-compliance, the government introduced a 0.6% tax on cash withdrawals exceeding Rs50,000 and a 7.5% withholding tax on monthly domestic electricity consumption exceeding Rs25,000 for non-filers. The data indicates that between July and December of the fiscal year, the FBR ga

   تین سالوں سے، ایک ٹرین جاپان کے دور دراز کامی-شیراتکی اسٹیشن پر دن میں صرف دو بار رکتی ہے، دلچسپ بات یہ ہے کہ صرف ایک مسافر کے لیے - ایک لڑکی جو تعلیم حاصل کرنے کے لیے اسکول جانا چاہتی ہے۔ سی سی ٹی وی کے مطابق، کامی-شیراتکی اسٹیشن پر ہر روز صرف دو ٹرینیں ایک منفرد ٹائم ٹیبل کے ساتھ رکتی ہیں جس پر منحصر ہے کہ لڑکی کو کب اسکول جانا ہے اور کب واپس جانا ہے۔ Kami-Shirataki station اب برسوں سے ٹرینیں صرف اس کے لیے اسٹیشن پر رکی ہیں۔ مزید برآں، جاپان ریلوے (جے آر) کے حکام نے فیصلہ کیا ہے کہ وہ ٹرین اسٹیشن کو اس وقت تک کھلا رکھیں گے جب تک وہ اسکول نہیں چھوڑتی۔ Kana Harada سی سی ٹی وی کے مطابق کامی شیراتکی ٹرین اسٹیشن جاپان کے شمالی جزیرے ہوکائیڈو میں واقع ہے۔ تین سال قبل اس کے دور دراز مقام اور مال بردار ٹرینوں کے ختم ہونے کی وجہ سے، جاپان ریلوے (جے آر) نے اسے بند کرنے کا فیصلہ کیا۔ تاہم، انہوں نے اپنا ذہن بدل لیا جب انہیں پتہ چلا کہ ایک نوجوان لڑکی روزانہ ہائی سکول جانے کے لیے اسٹیشن کا استعمال کرتی ہے۔ توقع ہے کہ لڑکی 26 مارچ 2016 کو گریجویٹ ہو جائے گی، جب سٹیشن بند ہو جائے گا۔ Fo

In an astonishing twist of fate, Tesla has witnessed a staggering loss of over $94 billion in market valuation within the initial fortnight of 2024. Unraveling the threads of this financial downturn reveals a confluence of adverse events that have battered the Austin, Texas-based EV giant. Foremost among these is a significant setback stemming from Hertz Global Holdings Inc., the car rental titan, abruptly reversing its stance on electric vehicles.

Why is Twitter now called X?

Image
Elon Musk’s rebranding of Twitter as “X” began at the tail end of July 2023. The social media platform now sports a new “X” logo on its mobile apps for iPhone and Android, following an earlier change to its website and Twitter accounts. Musk originally bid farewell to the Twitter brand on July 23 in a flurry of tweets. Shortly after, the company’s iconic bird symbol, named after pro-basketball player Larry Bird, was replaced with a new X logo on its website and headquarters. The transformation of Twitter into "X" marked a significant rebranding effort spearheaded by Elon Musk in late July 2023. This overhaul extended to the mobile apps for iPhone and Android, showcasing a distinctive "X" logo.  The shift followed Musk's farewell to the Twitter brand through a series of tweets on July 23. Notably, the platform's iconic bird symbol, originally named after Larry Bird, was replaced by the new "X" logo across its website and headquarters. The rebran

"KIBOR Hits 10-Month Low: T-Bill Yields Dip Below Policy Rate"

Image
"KIBOR Hits 10-Month Low: T-Bill Yields Dip Below Policy Rate" On January 12, 2024, in Karachi, the six-month interbank rate reached its lowest point in 10 months. This decline was driven by a sharp drop in treasury bill yields, suggesting a market anticipation of the central bank initiating interest rate cuts sooner than initially anticipated. The financial landscape reflects dynamic shifts, with implications for economic expectations and monetary policy. The six-month Karachi Interbank Offered Rate (KIBOR), a crucial gauge for corporate lending, declined to 20.98 percent, marking its lowest point since March 2023, as reported by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). This shift follows a decrease from Wednesday's rate of 21.31 percent. The dip in KIBOR aligns with a substantial drop in the cut-off yields of treasury bills during an auction where the government successfully raised Rs284 billion, surpassing the original target of Rs100 billion. All tenors, including three, six

Ethiopia's tribes

In Ethiopia's tribes, having a big belly makes a man attractive. The larger the belly, the better. If you're on the heavier side, having a belly is seen positively – just find the right place to live and embrace yourself. ایتھوپیا کے قبائلوں میں، بڑے پیٹ والے مرد کو خوبصورت قرار دیا جاتا ہے۔ جو زیادہ پیٹ، وہ بہتر۔ اگر آپ زیادہ وزن والے ہیں اور پیٹ ہے ، بس صحیح جگہ پر رہیں اور اپنے آپ کو قبول کریں۔ Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent country and one of the oldest in the world with over 3000 years of history. In 980 BC, the Kingdom of D'mt extended its realm over Eritrea and the northern region of Ethiopia, while the Kingdom of Aksum maintained a unified civilization in the region for 900 years.
