Hi Zahid,
In Bulgaria tax data of both citizens and officials (including parliamentarians) are not public. Only data of income and assets of high ranking officials are public, but tax data definitely not. As far as I know, though I might be wrong, everywhere in Europe is the same with the exception of Sweden and Norway (Denmark left that small community on that matter few years ago). In Norway I heard there is debate to stop this openness as well. But let other countries speak about their situation themselves! I am also curious to know whether there are new/other developments.

In Pakistan, tax data is not regarded as public data. CPDI and CRIP jointly carried out studied titled 'Representation without Taxation' which was launched yesterday and which has been largely carried out by local and international newspapers.
