The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has finalized the Finance Bill for 2025-26 with a new sales tax on online platforms such as Daraz, OLX, Zameen, and PakWheels to boost collections and meet demands of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for widening the tax base, sources told ProPakistani.
The Revenue Division has prepared a proposal to levy an 18 percent sales tax on online buying and selling platforms in the fiscal year 2025-26.
Sources said the new tax on e-commerce platforms will be increased to boost collections and meet IMF demands for widening the tax base.
This move is part of FBR’s 11th-hour attempt to fulfill IMF’s Rs. 14.3 trillion tax revenue target for FY26.
fbr will still fall short of targets but they should be given fancy bulletproof suv’s and rewarded for incompetence.
Is work
Is work me
The current Finance Minister imported from abroad should be shown the door now before he inflicts more damage on the country’s economic health and the common Pakistani’s miserable life.
Another nail in the coffin for start-ups & online businesses by Buracracy
Tax in tax. Tax on tax. This is what pakistan is doing. SUCH A SHIT MINDSET
FBR needs this tax to pay for the bullet proof SUVs. Why doesn’t the IMF ask for austerity measures? How much more damage will this govt inflict ? When will the people be free of these family aristrocrats ?
FBR KO BOLO GAND MARWA LO
