KARACHI: Sindh government has increased sales tax on telecom services to 19.5 percent from 19 percent in the provincial Budget 2017-18.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah in his budget speech on Monday said that for next financial year, the government is proposing to rationalize rate of Sindh Sales Tax on Telecom Services, and bring it at par with other provinces, by increasing it from 19 percent to 19.5 percent.
Telecom sector is already charging this amount from consumers. This will allow the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) to generate an additional amount of Rs400 million.
