Islamabad: Major economic reforms introduced in Pakistan since 2024 have modernized the tax system, digital payments, and the trade sector, leading to significant improvements in business facilitation across the country.

According to Radio Pakistan, the modernization of the tax system resulted in a 26% growth in tax collection during the fiscal year 2025. Over 34,000 taxpayers were integrated into the online billing system, and the tax collection process was enhanced through the deployment of 43,000 digital billing machines. The use of Artificial Intelligence has further optimized the identification of tax evasion, enabling the collection of additional taxes from key industrial sectors.

As part of the Digital Pakistan initiatives, the RAAST platform expanded digital payments to 50 million more people and 1.1 million businesses, increasing the total number of users to 130 million. The integration of online payment facilities across public institutions, including the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), has simplified fee submissions and other payments for citizens.

In a bid to create a more business-friendly environment and stimulate trade, the government has launched significant tariff reforms under the National Tariff Policy 2025-30.
