حکومت نے مقامی ہیوی گاڑیوں پر سیلز ٹیکس 25% سے کم کر کے 18% کر دیا

The Finance Division issued S.R.O. 1525(1)/2026, amending the Sales Tax Act, 1990, effective immediately, to reduce the sales tax on locally manufactured hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) with engine capacity up to 2000cc. This move reverses a recent increase that saw the tax rate jump from 8-12% to 25% after the budget. The reduction aims to support local automotive manufacturing and potentially make HEVs more accessible. While this fiscal adjustment impacts consumer spending, its direct effect on Pakistan's gold or currency markets is expected to be minimal.
