Three different political parties rule in three different provinces, and all of them have now presented their budgets. To analyse their development budgets, it must be kept in mind that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh not only have different geographies and unique local economies, but also receive a proportionate amount of funds from the federal divisible pool.

For the ladies in Sindh, it will now cost an additional 10 percent to look all pretty and nice. 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. The beautician services will be taxed at the reduced rate of 10 percent.
