⚙️ Smuggling Meets Its Match Digital eyes are now on every conveyor belt, every warehouse, every cigarette produced. Pakistan is using technology to break the backbone of the illegal cigarette trade. Thank you @FBRSpokesperson @IRSPakistan #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #StopIllegalCigaretteTrade

💰 Rs. 600 Billion Within Reach With full monitoring in place,Pakistan’s tobacco revenue could rise to Rs. 600 billion. That’s the difference between good governance and tax leakage through the illegal cigarette trade. Thank you @FBRSpokesperson #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #StopIllegalCigaretteTrade

💡 Transparency in Motion Pakistan’s decision to install IP-based CCTV in tobacco factories is a landmark reform. With production now tracked in real time, the illegal cigarette trade has nowhere left to hide. #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #StopIllegalCigaretteTrade

⚖️ Smugglers Can’t Silence the Law Cigarette smuggling drains Pakistan’s economy by Rs. 400 billion annually. It’s time for action, not whispers. We call on @GovtofPakistan @FBRSpokesperson @IRSPakistan to crack down hard and restore justice. #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #StopTaxChori

🎭 Foreign Khairaat Dried Up? Silence is Deafening SPARC, Chromatic Trust, Blue Veins, Human Development Foundation, Social Policy and Development Centre, and Sustainable Development Policy Institute seem unusually quiet on tobacco lately. #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #StopTaxChori

💼 Smuggling, counterfeiting, and uneven excise structures have created a fertile ground for tax evasion in cigarette industry. Pakistan needs a predictable, fair tax regime that punishes crime, not compliance. #StopIllegalCigaretteTrade

🎬 Welcome to the Senate: Season of Suspense Plot twist! A Senate committee is probing the illegal cigarette mafia, but two cast members seem to be from the very industry under scrutiny. 🎭 #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia #ConstituteNewSenateCommittee

🕵️‍♂️ Sub-Committee or Smokescreen? The Senate formed a Sub-Committee to investigate the illegal cigarette mafia.Bold move, right? Except two members seem to have ties to the very industry they're supposed to investigate. Watch the attached video. #StopIllegalCigaretteMafia#ConstituteNewSenateCommittee

📉 Pakistan is losing over Rs. 300 billion every year due to illegal cigarette trade, as confirmed by the FBR . The formal sector is collapsing, and illicit manufacturers now hold 56% of the market, while contributing almost nothing in taxes. #StopIllegalCigaretteTrade

⚠️ Transparency Needed in NGO Operations How did unregistered INGOs like Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Vital Strategies infiltrate key institutions like the Health Services Academy and Tobacco Control Cell? Fair Trade in Tobacco calls for a thorough investigation #InvestigateCriminalINGOs

Pakistan’s tobacco farmers are critical to the country’s agricultural landscape. Yet, they face challenges from illicit traders who undermine legal markets. Supporting legitimate tobacco ensures fair pricing for farmers and strengthens rural economies. #SupportFarmers #StopIllicitTrade

Pakistan’s legal tobacco sector, represented by two multinational companies, contributed nearly Rs. 300 billion in taxes during FY2023-24 and 40 local manufacturers, mostly operating from KPK and AJK, paid a meager Rs. 5 billion, despite holding 63% of the market share. #StopIllicitCigaretteTrade

💸 @HDFPk and the Shadow Agenda of @CTFKGlobal The @HDFPk, bankrolled by @CTFKGlobal, blatantly targets Pakistan’s legal businesses while conveniently ignoring illegal operators evading Rs. 330 billion in taxes annually. Their silence reveals their intent—sabotage under the guise of advocacy.

With Rs. 600 billion in untapped tax potential, Pakistan’s tobacco sector could transform the economy. Yet pseudo-activists like @SDPIPakistan, driven by foreign agendas, focus their energies on law-abiding contributors while ignoring rampant tax evasion by illicit traders.

Fair Trade in Tobacco @ftintobacco.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

The legal tobacco industry, which operates under strict regulations, pays Rs. 291 billion in taxes. Meanwhile, illicit traders who dominate 63% of the market evade billions. The Track and Trace System will hold these tax evaders accountable and ensure a fair system for all. 💼 #ImplementTTSNow

How INGOs operate within our borders, especially those funded by foreign charities.Let's protect our economic interests and ensure that Pakistan isn't left behind while countries like Bangladesh capitalize on opportunities we could have seized. The time for action is now! #StopIllicitCigaretteTrade

Illicit Trade in Pakistan The ballooning illicit cigarette trade, now commanding over 50% of the market, is not just a tax issue but a clear case of economic sabotage. This shadow market leads to an annual tax revenue loss of over PKR 300 billion, which could be invested in our nation's future.

Bangladesh executed the same $20M deal in one month, which Pakistan failed to implement in six months due to unnecessary lobbying and propaganda. Foreign-funded organizations like @SDPIPakistan worsen this stark contrast in business environments. 🌍 #SuperDeceptivePolicyInstitute @PakPMO

پاکستان کی سالانہ سگریٹ مارکیٹ کا حجم 85 ارب روپے ہے، اور یہ سیکٹر تقریبا 600 ارب روپے کا ممکنہ ٹیکس ادا کر سکتا ہے مگر اندازہ ہے کہ 300-330 ارب روپوں کا سالانہ ٹیکس غیر قانونی تجارت کی وجہ سے ضائع ہو رہا ہے۔ مگر @SDPIPakistan جیسے ادارے ان حقائق کو نظرانداز کرتے ہیں

Illicit tobacco trade surged from 37% in 2021 to 63% in 2024, costing Pakistan Rs. 330B annually. Meanwhile, Tier-I brands pay 84% in excise and Tier-II 60%. Rationalizing excise is the only way to combat this growing economic sabotage! 📉 @FBRSpokesperson #RationalizeTobaccoExcise

‏پاکستان کا قانونی تمباکو سیکٹر سالانہ 290 ارب روپے سے زائد ٹیکس دیتا ہے، لیکن اب مارکیٹ کا 63 فیصد حصہ غیر قانونی تاجروں کے قبضے میں ہے جو سالانہ 330 ارب روپے (1.2 بلین ڈالر) کے ٹیکس چوری کر رہے ہیں۔ یہ تاجر قانونی کم از کم قیمت 162.25 روپے سے کم پر فروخت کرتے ہیں، جو ٹیکس آمدن کو تباہ کر رہا ہے

Pakistan’s legal tobacco sector contributes over Rs. 200B annually, yet 63% of the market is now controlled by illicit traders evading Rs. 330B ($1.2B) yearly. These operators sell below the legal minimum price of Rs. 162.25, crippling tax revenues. 🛑 @PakPMO #RationalizeTobaccoExcise
