Pakistan, April 15 -- The Supreme Court of Pakistan raised important questions about the distribution of super tax funds during a recent hearing. A five-member constitutional bench, led by Justice Aminuddin Khan, examined whether the federal government has the authority to allocate these funds to provinces. This discussion focused on the legality of the super tax and its distribution.

Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhail expressed concerns about the federal government's power to share super tax revenue. He asked if this revenue, whether Rs8 or Rs8 trillion, could be divided among provinces. Senior lawyer Makhdoom Ali Khan argued that income tax is collected without specific distribution and goes into the national treasury.
