FBR slaps 50% regulatory duty on import of vehicles

tragedy of subcontinent politics... you elect pro business ... and end up getting chrony capitalism... you elect left .. you get poverty. :pissed:

It is a tragedy only if you are the public. For those in power, it is a great system that gives them every privilege, many for free.

Not trying to be stupid but I think there shouldn't be any duty on imported cars. Our roads are filled with shitty cheaply made suzuki mehrans and cultus. Why cant people in pakistan drive nice comfortable imported cars? Our roads and cities would look much much better and cleaner when people would be driving foreign made compact, mid size sedans and sedans. Is that too much to ask?

Pakistan is a big country with 200million people. It is shameful that after soo much potential it is unable to build a reputable Automobile Industry.

On Topic, A good move, govt must tax everything that is imported...be it Cars, Petrol/Oil, Machinery, etc etc. Also there should be no subsidy on Petrol as it is already very cheap in Pakistan.

Because people in Pakistan crib so much about even mehran and cultus prices, how are they going to afford imported high end cars?

There are many reliable car companies like tata and many other chinese companies. If a person is paying 500,000 for a mehran, he would rather pay little more for a nice looking car that comes with warranties and so much other stuff.

I am sure people in pakistan would rather buy indian and chinese cars than buying locally made junk. Pisses me off soo much that our government has built such an amazing infrastructure yet the city is filled with cheap junk and motorcycles.
