据GEO电视台报道，"社交媒体筛查小组"近期在巴基斯坦某城市重点调查了一家婚礼策划公司。根据社 交媒体上的各类"炫富"动态和公开信息，该公司策划一场超豪华婚礼的收费达到1.48亿巴基斯坦卢比 （100巴基斯坦卢比约合2.5元人民币），每个月该公司都会策划4到6场婚礼。婚礼现场使用的服饰和珠 宝首饰等，单件价格都极其昂贵。但这些举办婚礼的家庭中，许多人在去年的纳税申报单上都只填了很 低的金额。根据这一线索，小组锁定了多名潜在的高额逃税者，要求他们披露支撑其高额支出的来源。 据《今日巴基斯坦报》报道，新财年（2025年7月至2026年6月），巴基斯坦政府预计征税14.1万亿卢 比，相比上一财年实际征收的9.3万亿卢比增长52%。这一征税目标是巴基斯坦政府对国际货币基金组 织的承诺。作为国际货币基金组织向巴基斯坦提供贷款支持的前提条件，政府需要整顿财政纪律，大幅 提高收税效率。 为完成这一目标，巴基斯坦联邦税务委员会决定大幅增加税务审查人员，目前已扩招约1600名审计人 员。在新财年开始的第一个月，该委员会完成了7540亿卢比征税，超过预计的征收目标，而8月征税则 略低于预期。 【环球时报驻巴基斯坦特派记者 程是颉 ...
