Thats a part of Qaim Ali Shahs plans to increase provincial tax revenues; sales tax on services to be specific. Presenting the Sindh budget this week, the Chief Minister said that his government will not raise GST on services to 17 percent but certain new services like beauty parlours (exceeding annual turnover of up to Rs3.6 million) and race clubs will be brought in the tax net.

This is the biggest differential since FY11; the differential between budgeted and actual amount stood around 27 percent in FY11 and FY12.
