Tax is problem for expats

With reference to the article “Shoura panel seeks income tax for expats” on March 31, I think the idea is unjust to the expat communities. Expats are also facing financial difficulties with the increasing prices of goods. Why create problems for the expats who are also contributing much to the Saudi economy?

If the main purpose of the tax plan is to prevent huge remittances by expatriates, the Kingdom should allow the expats to bring their families regardless of their profession and allow the wives to work.
