The amnesty scheme legalizes undisclosed assets and income of Pakistanis held abroad and home by paying just 2 to 5% taxes.
Pakistanis have approximately $150 billion assets abroad and if the government succeeds in bringing back half of this amount, it will help Pakistan to generate sufficient funds to meet our domestic needs.
