ISLAMABAD: Despite announcement of withdrawal of sales tax on stationery items, the amended Finance Bill 2024 would impose sales tax on stationery items from July 1, 2024.

It was learnt late Wednesday night that Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, during winding up debate on budget for the next fiscal year in the National Assembly, announced that the sales tax exemptions for stationery items have been maintained.

However, sources said that the FBR would impose sales tax on stationery items under the amended Finance Bill 2024.

The amendments in the Finance Bill 2024 would be announced today (Thursday).

Whats the use of increasing / applying sales tax when the collection machinery doesn't work efficiently. This will only increase prices and the vendor will pocket the money.

What will 13% tax-to-GDP achieve? All monies will be spent on official tours, cars, free fuel and electricity and dinners. I'm appalled! They won't cut free fuel for bureaucrats but tax baby milk!!

The government needs to cut its own expenditure and stop increasing taxes to fund loan payments and a bloated bureaucracy.
