Pakistan's federal and provincial governments are to impose a 16% General Services Tax (GST) levy on the country's service sector in the forthcoming 2009/10 budget.
Currently, the government imposes a 16% GST charge on the country's goods, but has now identified several areas of the services sector which could also be brought into the tax net.
The tax will apply to personal and other services, including doctors, beauticians, lawyers, chartered accountants, auto workshops and even janitorial and rent-a-car services.
Once in place, the tax will be collected through the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
