The federal government has decided to impose an additional tax on non-filers as they would have to pay further taxes on mobile loads and bundles.
According to the details, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) devised a plan against non-filers which is likely to be implemented from May 15. The government would impose a 2.5 percent additional tax as well as withholding on non-filers.
It is also being considered to levy additional tax on every load and bring additional tax on mobile and data load. The data of non-filers was handed over to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
The sources privy to the development said that the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has also decided to move to the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the PTA and cellular companies as they turned down to block sims of the non-filers.
