Pakistani sprinter Sahib e Asra has been startled by the tax policy after she was asked to pay 68,000 rupees tax imposed on her spikes received as a gift.
Renowned Pakistani sprinter Sahib e Asra, who recently clinched two gold medals in the 34th National Games, found herself entangled in an unexpected tax dilemma when she received a pair of imported spikes as a generous gift.
The spikes, valued at Rs. 55,000, were a much-needed aid to help her resume training after her previous pair had worn out. However, to her surprise, Asra was asked to pay a staggering Rs. 68,000 in taxes on the gifted shoes.
According to the courier company, the tax was imposed by the authorities as a compulsory levy on imported items.
Expressing her astonishment in a heartfelt video message, the South Asian Games bronze medalist pleaded with the government to address this issue.
Asra said, “I was really surprised to see the tax amount because even the shoes cost less than this. These spikes are worth Rs. 55,000 and someone gifted me as a help. I don’t have any shoes as my old pair is expired now. I would like to request the government to please sort out this issue.”
Welcome to the real Pakistan. A lot of the “happy” people don’t know the real Pakistan. When they do they are surprised to see what tons of Pakistanis have been complaining about.
In 47, two countries were established, one a democratic country for the masses, where a mere tea maker can become a PM, heroes are celebrated / honored as head of state & other a theocratic state for the serpent elite, who disguised themselves as Muslims, where masses are mere insects, who need to be subservient to them while they themselves are still bootlicking their imperial masters. The latter is Pakistan.

قانون نے تو اداروں کے ذریعے خود پر عمل کروانا ہے نا!
traders receiving samples from their overseas customers face the same dilemma but courier companies also get hefty amount in it,they never give you custom receipt.
She must demand from courier company duty paid system generated receipt with goods valued and duty calculated.
“someone gifted me as a help. I don’t have any shoes as my old pair is expired now”
I think this phrase is enough to let the Govt feel some shame on this… A lady making the nation proud by winning medals is requesting for a waiver on tax fee for her shoes… Remember these are the same shoes she will wear and win again and make us proud…have some shame at least have some shame respected Govt.
Quit sports return the spikes and start improving your academics or leave Pakistan and immigrate somewhere… Present day Pakistan is not fit to live in.. Allah raham farmaya

Kabhi un par bhi tax lagao jin kay pass sainkron marabah zarai zameen hai aur croron ki amdan hai. Tax authorities, apni besharmi main chand percent kami kar do gay tau mar nahi jao gay
No wonder this country is the laughing stock in the world.
