[tta_listen_btn]

ISLAMABAD – The PML-N led alliance government on Wednesday proposed increased mobile phone calls rates for Pakistanis, who are non-filers.

The proposal was given in the federal budget presented by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb in Parliament today.

The government has proposed imposition of 75percent tax on call rates for the non-filers as it aims broadening the tax net by implementing stern policies. Furthermore, the tax would also be increased on call rates for the non-active taxpayers.

Expected Call rates from July 2024

If the proposal is approved, the call rates for the non-filers will be increased by 75pc from July 2024 in Pakistan.
The government also proposed a 33 percent hike in the levy on petrol and diesel.

Minister also proposed 18pc sales tax on mobile phones and increased import duties on luxury cars and certain goods. The Rs18 trillion budget focuses on economic revival, with a 101pc increase in the development budget prioritizing ongoing projects.
