ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry asked the Sindh government to review its decision of imposing 19.5 per cent sales tax on internet and broadband services.
“The Sindh government’s decision of imposing 19.5 per cent sales tax on internet is akin to discouraging technology and communication,” he tweeted.
“This will have a direct impact on the youth, students in particular,” the minister said, requesting the provincial government to revisit its decision. Internet services have become a basic need, he added.
سندہ حکومت کا انٹرنیٹ پر 19.5فیصد سیلز ٹیکس کے نفاذ کا فیصلہ ٹیکنالوجی اور کمیونیکیشن کی حوصلہ شکنی کے مترادف ہے، اس کا براہ راست نقصان نوجوانوں خصوصاً طالبعلموں کو ہو گا، سندہ حکومت کو میری درخواست ہو گی کہ اس فیصلے پر نظرثانی کریں انٹرنیٹ سروسز اب بنیادی ضرورت ہیں
