In the mini-budget, the government has raised a total of Rs 350 billion through new taxes. Since the Telecom sector accounts for 1/10th of these revenue receipts. 98% of the 147 million population use mobile phones in Pakistan, the majority of consumers will have to bear these ever-new taxes.
These taxes will not only impact the people with minimum income but also those who were planning to buy iPhone 13 will have to pay a hefty amount of 85500 which is too much.
Other than this, the tax on mobile phone recharge is also increased. The federal government has decided to charge a 15 percent withholding tax on every prepaid mobile phone recharge.
