I live in Pakistan and we have been going through a terrible economic turmoil. On top of indirect taxes, the salaries of average people are taxed like crazy. Meanwhile, the businesses refuse to even come under the tax net. While inflation and currency devaluation are going crazy, and the government has been begging IMF for a bailout, government departments did mental gymnastics to provide relaxation to 5,000 out of 10,000 big retailers tax relief with bullsh*t reasons like size of their brick and mortar shops. I'm so sick of all of this. Sorry for the trauma dump. I've been incredibly frustrated.
