They don’t and they don’t expect their readers to read anything either. They only write so that adsense has some context for the ads.
why r u getting jealous if someone is working hard to earn. Isn’t it their right.
Jao yaha se aur kuch kam dhandha kar k khud bi kama lo. Veli awam ko fazool bolne k alawa kam nahi ha aur koi.
It says ”withdrawal of exemption of Federal Excise Duty ”.. Hence meaning that the exemption which was given before will withdraw and the FED will be imposed on public.
I cant really believe that some people cant comprehend a basic sentence. “Withdrawing exemption” means that duty will be imposed now
I think it is you who need to read what you are writing and what is written. Impose of FED and Withdrawal of Exemption of FED, what the difference?
internet se start liya
phone per end kiya
wah wah loot liya loot liya!
Internet should be tax free!
This article is all over the place. First you say they are withdrawing exemptions then you say that terrestrial providers will retain exemptions. Then you somehow introduced islamabad into the article. Is this only about that one city and not the whole country?
“the government has proposed the withdrawal of exemption of FED on internet services…”
The correct sentence would be “the government has proposed to reimpose FED on internet services”
Have you read the article before posting.
This is the most confusing article I’ve ever read.
kiya article tha …….. got heart attack

So GST and WHT is not enough? They want to implement FED now TOO! This Govt. is the worst. Imran manhoos ne icecream khane pe be 13pc GST laga dia dogi ne.
If only govt impose tax on accessing the objectionable sites it can collect HUGE revenue. PTA can do this.
19.5% provincial and 12.5% holding tax is something imposed from last few years (5,6 yrs?).
