Following an increase in the general sales tax, one of the players in the two-wheeler segment in Pakistan — Yamaha Motor — also notified an increase in the rates of its motorcycles.

It should be noted that this is the second time the company has increased rates since the start of 2023, as the two-wheel maker increased motorcycle prices between the range of Rs3,000 to Rs3,500.

The new rates came into effect on February 21 (Tuesday).

According to the Finance (Supplementary) Bill 2023, which was stamped by the National Assembly a day earlier — it was announced that the general sales tax (GST) rate had been increased to 18%.

Following an increase in GST, several industries and sectors raised the prices of goods and services.

Amid the ongoing economic crisis, Pakistan’s automobile sector has been hit hard owing to problems with the opening of letters of credit, arising due to the rapidly depleting foreign exchange reserves and a weakening rupee.

Tajir Dost app: traders don’t seem interested in registering

To tax retailers in Pakistan, the Tajir Dost app was released. The sources stated that the government hopes to tax 3.5 million merchants through the app.

Ajmal Baloch, the president of All-Pakistan Anjuman-e-Tajran, stated that he made reservations with FBR on the SRO within a week.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), according to him, cannot be a “Tajir Dost” because of its unethical actions.

Baloch believed that since electricity bills allow traders to pay a predetermined advance income tax, further taxes are unnecessary.

The trader, according to him, is already paying thirteen different kinds of taxes on the commercial meter. “A trader already pays between Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000 in taxes annually, but you are requesting Rs. 1,200 per month in taxes.”

Mr. Ajmal summoned representatives of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to a meeting with the trade associations to talk about the indirect taxes that the merchants are paying.

Additionally, he claimed that FBR officers are charging the traders, the majority of whom are less educated, “monthly charges.”
