Abstract:

The purpose of writing this paper is to share the success story that resulted in a developing country, Pakistan regarding boosting the tax revenues through women empowerment. The tax revenue figures of a government authority in Pakistan, escalated vigorously by adopting effective measures in tax governance. The untapped service sector of Beauty Salons in Pakistan showed an overwhelming tax payers’ response after these Entrepreneurs were educated through conducting awareness workshops for them. The tax revenue collections of the Beauty Salons sector have increased by 330% from Tax Year 2015 to Tax Year 2017 and the number of registered taxpayers has increased by 137% from Tax Year 2015 to Tax Year 2017. Though quite simple, this endeavour has made a remarkable effort for achieving sustainable development through enhanced capacity building of the citizens. This successful venture of conducting awareness workshops for the taxpayers proved to be effective for boosting revenue of sales tax in services sector in Pakistan and can be adopted by any other developing country for promising results
