Govt Cuts Taxes on Mobile Phones Yet Again

The government has officially revised the sales tax charged on import of mobile and satellite phones. We have confirmed these new rates with the FBR.

The minimum amount that you will be charged is now only Rs. 135, whereas the maximum amount charged can now only go as high up as Rs. 9270 (previously 10,300) on a phone above USD 500.
