FATA, PATA won’t pay taxes until given NFC share: K-P Governor Kundi

In a bold move, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Haji Khan Ahmad Kundi declared that the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the newly created Pukhtunawa Tribal Areas (PATA) will not pay taxes until they receive their share from the National Finance Commission (NFC). He criticized current tax collection efforts, urging authorities to visit the region and witness its unique ground realities. This stance highlights ongoing disputes over resource allocation and governance in the tribal areas, raising concerns about economic integration and regional stability.
