Proposal to tax internet data usage criticised as reactions to budget pour in
Ali Ahmed
11 Jun 2021
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government presented its third budget with a total outlay of Rs8,487 billion on Friday.
Apart from all the figures and analysis, the budget is also a day that allows Pakistanis to give their two cents on the country's economic conditions.
Presented by the newly-seated Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, the budget started off with usual sloganeering from the opposition members, much to the annoyance of many but something that has become a part of the speech in recent years.
“The traditional screaming and chanting inside the Parliament during the budget speech is so annoying. This trend should stop,” said journalist Wajahat Kazmi.
Members of the government lauded the measures taken in the Budget 2021-22. Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Haider Zaidi termed it a ‘progressive budget’ and was of the view that it will benefit SMEs, non-conventional exports and will also generate mass level employment.
Meanwhile, skeptics were of the view that the budget will not bring any change in their daily lives.
Others expressed concern over the proposal to increase the tax on mobile internet usage. Former head of Digital Pakistan, Tania Aidrus, pointed out that taxing the internet further is a ‘regressive’ move, which will not help the move towards a 'Digital Pakistan'.
Pakistan targets 4.8% GDP growth in upcoming fiscal year.
In its budget proposal, the government said that in order to "reap reasonable revenue, federal excise on mobile phone calls exceeding three minutes at Rs1 per call, SMS message at Rs0.1 per SMS, and internet data usage at Rs5 per GB is being proposed. This will result into mild taxation of a broad spectrum of population."
However, reports started circulating that the 'regressive measure' could be rejected when the Finance Bill is presented in the lower house of parliament.
Meanwhile, remembering past measures, an individual congratulated former finance minister Abdul Hafeez Shaikh for ‘stabilizing and streamlining’ the economy.
Others were more critical of the government, terming the allotment of budget as ‘unfair’ and catering only to the elite.

Trillions and Billions are spoken like nothing in both America and Pakistan alike! In America of just 2-3 decades ago, 'the millionaire next door' was a big thing, as was a 'Karore-pati' in Pakistan. No so anymore. My job at the University of Karachi in early 1990s was Rs. 2000/month and that went quite a way meeting some expenses. And the first budget presented by the Benazir Bhutto govt after the 1988 election had promised Rs. 2 billion for the welfare of the people to which the Opposition politicians didn't believe that the extra Rs. 2 billion could be available in Pakistan then!
How times have changed!
Having said this, I think every Pakistani should be proud that Pakistan fought off the Covid scare and these budgetary numbers, even if they might be somewhat exaggerated, are still stunning when compared with so many of the world economies which have actually contracted. Kudos!

What some of the budget measures mean
BR Web Desk
11 Jun 2021
When all is said and done, not every budget measure impacts everyone directly. But almost all of them have a trickle-down effect on every Pakistani. Here are Business Recorder’s picks of some features of Budget 2021-22 that have stood out at first glance, and are apart from the usual allocation numbers.
- Federal excise duty proposed on internet data usage at Rs5 per GB.
Many have criticised the proposal, and it is likely to be removed before the budget is implemented from 1 July.
- No change in tax rates for salaried class individuals.
Contrary to earlier belief that the salaried class will get a ‘relief’, they have to be satisfied with having no new taxes imposed on their monthly incomes.
- Removes WHT on bank transactions.
This comes as a positive for filers of income tax returns, and is likely to help traders and businesspersons.
- Federal excise duty to be removed from small cars with engine capacity up to 850cc. Reduced rate of sales tax at 1% on local supply of electric vehicles.
This is likely to bring the prices of small cars down. In the case of electric vehicles, we will have to wait and watch when Pakistan starts producing them locally.
- Tax on the so-called ón’ money on vehicles, if vehicle is disposed without registration, is to be retained.
This proposal is not going to sit down well with car dealers who rely on early deliveries to make a profit.
- Reduction in threshold of monthly electricity bill for withholding tax on electricity consumption from 75,000 to 25,000 from domestic users not appearing on Active Taxpayers’ list.
If you are a non-filer, and your electricity bill is Rs25,000 or more, then bad news for you. This measure is meant to serve as a punishment for non-filers.
- Reduction in tax rate on capital gain tax on disposal of securities from 15% to 12.5%.
One of the most keenly-awaited measure for stock market investors, and is likely to give a boost to the KSE-100 Index.
- Reduction in tax liability by 25% for women entrepreneurs.
This is being seen as a positive for women's inclusion in the formal sector.
- Exemption from tax on import of books and agriculture equipment.
Good news for those who want to read books, and import agricultural equipment. We wonder why the two exemptions were clubbed together in one sentence.
- Removal of requirement of updating tax profile.
This requirement, when first introduced, drew a lot of criticism. However, all you needed to do was update your profile on the FBR website, just like you would on a social media page. Nonetheless, it has been removed.
- Deletion of withholding tax on domestic & international air travel.
This is likely to bring the cost of travel down. How much of it is passed on by the airline to the consumer is another matter.

Government sets minimum wage at Rs20,000
Govt unveils people-friendly budget as no new tax imposed on salaried class, economic growth target set at 4.8%
Our Correspondent
June 11, 2021
Unveiling the federal budget for FY22, Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin kicked off the national assembly session by recalling the state of the economy that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government had received when it came into power.
He said that the current account deficit was at a historic high of $20 billion but the government through its prudent policies managed to drag the economy out of trouble.
He said that the budget deficit was at a high of 6.6% and the foreign exchange reserves were at a critical level of $10 billion at the end of PML-N’s tenure. However, the situation has now improved.
He said that the responsibility to fix the economy fell to the PTI government as the previous government had hampered the economy by taking loans and artificially was fixing the dollar at Rs104 for five years.
Moving on, he said the biggest challenge to the government was to avoid a financial default.
Highlighting the success of the PTI government, the minister said they had managed to bring the current account from deficit to a surplus of $800 million. He said that the economy was on the road to stabilisation and growth.
Talking about the Covid-19 outbreak, he said that the government had managed the situation well and saved the economy from crisis.
From March-May we faced the third crisis but through timely action, we managed to come out of this situation.
Talking about agriculture, the minister said that the agriculture sector witnessed historic growth.
Tarin claimed that Pakistan has now entered the growth club. “Economy is on the way of growth.”
Pakistan faced two faceted problems, however, the country managed to remain protected from default.
During the outgoing fiscal year, the country witnessed historic growth in the agriculture sector. Meanwhile, the large-scale manufacturing sector recorded growth after many years and posted 9% growth during FY21, he added.
All crops showed growth, he added.
And services sector including transport, banking, insurance recorded significant growth compared to previous years.
Tarin highlighted that poverty reduced and jobs were created.
“We succeeded in fighting grave consequences of Covid-19, despite the severe third wave which created more havoc compared to the first two waves,” he added.
“During these tough times, we enhanced hospital resources,” the finance minister said.
The low-income segment was benefited through the Ehsaas program which provided relief to 12 million households – covering 40% of the total population.
In the next fiscal year, the government expects $29 billion in remittances, he said.
With a record-high production in agriculture, the sector contributes Rs3.1 trillion to the national exchequer.
Growth in the large-scale manufacturing sector helped create jobs accommodating people who were laid off during the pandemic.
Sharing more details, the finance minister said that the e-commerce and fintech industry is expected to steer the online job ecosystem.
During the fiscal year 2020-21, tax revenue increased and showed 18% growth as tax receipts crossed Rs4 trillion.
Exports increased by a significant 14% as a rebate, duty drawback helped the sector flourish, he added.
Earlier in 2018 when the PTI government came into power, the current account deficit was a huge challenge, but now this is also under control.
Tarin mentioned that remittances rose 25% to $29 billion during FY21.
