Another report sent by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) stated that Shahbaz Sharif was also not involved in tax evasion. The report added that Shahbaz paid taxes worth Rs4.947 million in the last three years.
The report further stated that cases were being heard against Shahbaz in the Rawalpindi Accountability Court and in the Lahore High Court but there has been no record of conviction or of plea bargain.
The FBR also cleared PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan of tax evasion.
Earlier, former interior minister Rehman Malik had called upon the election commission to disqualify the Sharif brothers under Articles 62 and 63.
Malik had accused the Sharif brothers of concealing facts about where they managed to obtain Rs30 million, which they used to get their sealed property, at Raiwind, released. That amount was never shown on tax return papers, he said.

If multi billionaire Industrialists are paying only Rs 4.9 million tax in three years, then by this ratio almost 98% of Pak population is not eligible for tax
An average boutique or retail shop pay millions in form of income tax annually...........cant understand how does industrialists income only contribute to 4.94 million and that too in years
Another surprise for the people. While seeing the scrutiny process and acception and rejection of nomination papers of politician. Its seem that our politician were corrupt, now its seems that Supreme Court, Election Commission of Pakistan, NAB, FBR, SBP all included corrupt people at there top heirarchy.
Nawaz Sharif was convicted life time imprisonment has qualify for election but Musharraf was rejected.
Chaudry Mukhtar's papers were accepted as he is the loan defaulter of 13 billion from various bank and at last moment he submitted clearance certificate from SBP.
@Baby ka Husband: Not a bad idea.
If the Sharif brothers have paid their taxes, show us the receipts for deposit of tax in the Treasury and challan numbers, Tax Assessment orders, IT and Wealth Tax Return forms with their online acknowledgements / statements. Also, do not forget to scan and publish the loans clearance certificate from the banks. Salams
But ofcourse!
@Mohammad: And where did they get 5000 rupees?
@Historian 1: I think they should make Akhtar mengal from Baluchistan, next prime minister of Pakistan.
@Abdullah: You are partly right. Once you take pay from your corporation or company, you have to pay income tax on that amount. That pay will be yourr taxable earning and it will be expense for the corp.
sharif brothers and their saudi masters..tsk tsk.
Oh no. This might be a joke for my country people. SS earlier threatened NAB of dire consequences so end results are now in front of the nation. Might is Right. Law is only for poor.
Grow up brothers.Shahbaz paid 4.947 million tax alone.I don't know why 4.947 millions seems as 5000 Rs to people.Good things should be appreciated.
What a Role Model!!
Can't believe it.
This just goes on to show that nothing has changed and probably never will.
Would any kid bother to explain, where this Rs5000 figure came from. Last time I checked NS paid about Rs1.8M in income tax.
For those not conversant with Austin Powers, here is an explanation of Dr. Evil and Mini-Me. That's how the brothers duo look like:

As long their patron lord chief justice is in office , shareefs hqv nothing to fear All laws only for PPP
This news will be catastrophic for the PTI fans :)
Usually industrialists and businessmen pay taxes in the name of their business concerns. This is just to clarify for some people who are talking about Rs. 5000 tax.
Neat & clean leadership of Pakistan.. PMLN all the way..
From now on no one should pay taxes. Our leaders, NAB and Law Courts have set precedents on tax-evasion, money laundering and theft. Can we have a referendum on the future state of Pakistan?? They have it all over the world. It's time to call it quits.
I bet FBR hasn't paid their own taxes :P
I am so relieved now...Shahbaz Sharif does not have to quit politics and will continue his public service.
Don't know which magic t every year.hey know not submitting tax but doubling trippling theie wealth
Now this shut mouths of all liars
Even the sharif brothers are looking in disbelief at the ruling!!!
good joke. Now i am feeling good.thanks for entertainment NAB.
If courts wont take their case how can they be convicted? Just like attack on SC case was not taken.
our future seems to be ominous...Alas......
Great picture selection for the story :-)
only 5,000/- per year and FBR clear then from TAX.. Amazing..
The most corrupt department FBR , cleared theives. Money and Powers Talks! i am fighting for Sales Tax from about 4 months , FBR is not giving me Sales Tax just. And, now the pyscial verification personals are indicating me some 15,000 rupees to fill their pockets to release Sales Tax.
Shahbaz Sharif..on the way..our next Prime Minister
I dont trust NAB. Its a highly politicised instituition and is only used for political manipulations.
F a b o l o u s ! ! !
you mean NS provide the receipt of Rs. 5000 tax he had paid?
