Apart from this, the government is proposing to increase the general sales tax from 17 percent to 18 percent and the general sales tax rate on luxury goods from 17 to 25 percent. An amount of PKR 55 billion will be collected through increase in general sales tax.

The remaining PKR 55 billion will be collected by raising excise duty on airline tickets, sugary drinks and increasing the rate of withholding tax.

It is also proposed to impose 10 percent withholding adjustable advance income tax on marriage halls and Increase in federal excise duty on cement from PKR 1.5/kg to PKR 2/kg.
