Internet about to get expensive in Sindh after new tax

Internet and broadband services prices are about to reach a new high in Sindh, after the provincial government has decided to slap sales tax on the services. Effective from July 1, the exemption of sales tax has been withdrawn and all internet and broadband customers, irrespective of their speed or charges, will pay sales tax at the statutory rate of 19.5%.

Sales tax on internet and broadband services had already been imposed in Punjab, K-P and Balochistan at the rate of 19.5% and the same rate was applied in Sindh.
