Supreme Court announces verdict on mobile phones taxes case
Shares
ISLAMABAD - The Supreme Court of Pakistan has reinstated all the previous taxes on mobile cards, local media reports claim.
According to reports, the top court has declared its previous order of June 12, 2018 – which ordered to abolish all taxes on mobile top-ups – as null and void.
The latest development means that cellular consumers will not receive full balance for their recharges.
Earlier in June last year, former CJP, Justice Saqib Nisar, had issued a written order to all the mobile companies for the suspension of taxes on mobile cards and ordered to make necessary arrangements to remove all taxes until there’s a system which can differentiate between the taxpayers and those who don’t fall under the tax net.
