What is ad valorem sales tax?
A 17% sales tax will be added to the PTA tax paid for approving a smartphone when it is sold for more than its base tax value. This is called an Ad Valorem sales tax. As a result, the new PTA fees for smartphone approval will not be the same for different products, and they will be decided based on the value of the mobile phone.
The government has raised a total of Rs 350 billion through new levies in the mini-budget. Because the telecommunications sector represents a tenth of these revenues. Since mobile phones are used by 98% of Pakistan’s 147 million people, the majority of users will be subject to these ever-increasing taxes.
