ISLAMABAD: The government on Wednesday decided to impose up to Rs200,000 tax on sale of locally manufactured vehicles within 90 days of delivery from manufacturer to discourage ‘on-money’ and removed sales tax on locally manufactured phones worth over $200 and 4pc withholding tax on local mobile manufacturers.
The decisions were taken at meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet presided over by Minister for Finance and Revenue Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh.
The Ministry of Industries and Production reported to the ECC that unnecessary long delivery time for vehicles by the manufacturers was a usual complaint. “The system is exploited which results in additional payment known as ‘on-money’ by the buyers” wrote Additional Secretary Industries Hamid Ateeq.
