KARACHI – The FBR has sent Rs13 million tax notice to Pakistan’s famous YouTuber Nadir Ali, who runs a channel called “P4 Pakao”.
Nadir and his team make prank videos for Youtube and attracted a lot of internet traffic. The combined views of his channel are over 820 million, making his channel one of the largest in Pakistan.
The tax authorities suspected him of concealing his income and subsequently launched an investigation against him, and their suspicions were confirmed when they contacted YouTube to learn about his actual income.
The Karachi based actor received more than Rs10 million foreign exchange during the year on which exemption was claimed without furnishing proof to the tax department and at the same time, he maintained a bank account, which he did not declare in the wealth statement.
The report also quoted tax officials as saying that the YouTuber was served a number of notices during the course of the investigation but he did not respond to any of them and now he has the option to appeal the order before the commission appeals in the RTO office in Karachi.
Commenting on this issue, Nadir denied having not responded to the FBR.
