Pakistan to Block the Mobile SIM Cards of Tax Defaulters | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Pakistan has come up with an innovative new way to go after tax evaders. It has threatened to block the mobile SIM cards of half a million tax defaulters. Pakistan is sent a list to the telecom operators in the country, who have to disconnect the defaulters' SIM cards by the 15th of May. The telecom operators are studying the order, and it may still be challenged in court. But if the new rule gets a legal nod, then it may successfully improve tax collection in Pakistan. The threat has worked in the past, to convince people to get vaccinated during the Covid-19 pandemic. But even if it works, should governments be allowed to weaponise mobile phone connections?
