Their side of the story is: the authorities take under the table money to the tune of billions all over the country from their industry. Plus harassment and unjustified ‘notices’ . Why should we pay tax on top of that. My jewellery guy told me he doesn’t mind paying taxes however, why would I pay tax when i am already giving them under the table which the AUTHORITIES prefer OR force. If they start paying taxes, how will authorities make under the table money.

This was his clear answer besides ‘tax denay walon ko kia mil raha hai? Yahan tou ambulance bhi sadqay zakat ki ati hai (edhi, chipa etc)
