The Finance Minister said,

The installation of an online tax collection system will eventually bring sustainable reforms in revenue generation of the provincial government.

The new online tax collection system is in line with Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal’s vision of eliminating budget deficits and ensuring facilities for the business community. The provincial minister maintained that the outdated system of tax collection was being digitized to allow residents of Balochistan to pay taxes to the government from any part of the country.

In addition to that, the minister said that the sales tax on services would be collected in the first phase under the system of alternative delivery channels which would consequently provide facilities to the citizens.

On the other hand, Finance Minister Buledi termed the introduction of the new tax system as a historical feat and said that allocation of taxes would now be possible via internet banking, mobile banking, ATMs, Easypaisa, and other modern means while eliminating suspicion of any sort. This development must be lauded and other provinces should also follow Balochistan in the development of a new tax system.
