"اس ایوان کی رائے ہے کہ زرعی انکم ٹیکس کی بنیادی چھوٹ 80 ہزار روپے سالانہ اور ٹیکس ریٹس 2001 میں متعین کئے گئے تھے اور اس وقت یہ چھوٹ اور ریٹس وفاقی انکم ٹیکس کے مطابق تھے۔ بعد ازاں 2001 سے 2019 تک بنیادی چھوٹ اور ٹیکس ریٹس میں کوئی تبدیلی نہیں کی گئی جب کہ اس دوران وفاقی انکم ٹیکس کی بنیادی چھوٹ 4 لاکھ روپے سالانہ کر دی گئی تھی۔ صوبائی اسمبلی پنجاب کا یہ نمائندہ ایوان وفاقی حکومت سے اس امر کی سفارش کرتا ہے کہ زرعی انکم ٹیکس کی وصولی میں پرانے قانون کے مطابق واجبات پر چھوٹ دی جائے۔ جیسا کہ وفاقی حکومت پہلے کئی بار ٹیکس ایمنسٹی اسکیم لا کر چھوٹ دے چکی ہے، جس میں ٹیکس ریٹ 2 سے 5 فیصد تک تھا۔ یہ کہ متعلقہ وزارت کو اس امر کی ہدایت کی جائے کہ اسی طرز کی ایمنسٹی اسکیم متعارف کروائے اور چھوٹ دینے کے احکامات صادر فرمائے۔"
