It is nowhere close to being a perfect budge dunk high t, but at least Finance Minister Ishaq Dar can take credit for sticki yeezy ng to his guns and pushing through even the most unpopular bits of the finance bill through the National Assembly.

However, imposing a tax retroactively from June 13 rather than July 1 is clearly unconstitutional.
