FBR may impose 18% sales tax on locally-manufactured cars
ISLAMABAD: The government is likely to impose standard rate of 18 percent sales tax on locally manufactured or assembled motorcars having engine capacity 850cc in budget (25-26). In this connection, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is reviewing the budget proposal to amend the Eighth Schedule of the Sales Tax Act 1990. Presently, 12.5 percent sales tax is applicable on locally manufactured or assembled motorcars of cylinder capacity up to 850cc. In case FBR's proposal is approved, the FBR will delete entry number 72 of the Eighth Schedule of the Sales Tax Act 1990. FBR may allow import of 5-year-old used vehicles It is a revenue generation measure for 2025-26 as the FBR is reviewing all sales tax exemptions and lower rates to bring them at part with the standard rate of sales tax from 2025-26, officials added. The goods specified in the Eighth schedule shall be charged to tax at such rates and subject to such conditions and limitations as specified therein, Sales Tax Act 1990 added.

A tax system built on evasion
Listen to article Those drafting the upcoming budget face a formidable set of challenges: the mammoth and still growing debt burden, the skyrocketing cost of living for the poor, and the seemingly intractable trade deficit, to name just a few. But by far the biggest challenge is the mismatch between income and expenses. This has led the government to run a perennial budget deficit. Of course, this is a situation that cannot continue forever. If the government were a corporation, it would have been declared bankrupt years ago. There are only two ways to address this problem: increase tax revenues or decrease expenses. On the latter, there's much the government can do to curb needless extravagance — think of the number of cabinet ministers it supports and their ancillary costs, or the number of MNAs and MPAs in our assemblies, whose presence or absence has zero impact on the country. But ultimately, cutting expenses is a game of diminishing returns. You can trim the fat only so far before you get to the meat. So, the solution to the budget deficit must rely on boosting revenues. And here lies the real problem. Pakistan is perhaps the only country in the world that gives its citizens the option to pay taxes — or not. We have a whole category of people called non-filers who can legally refuse to be part of the tax net. Only a slim — and some might say foolish — minority has opted to become filers, actually submitting tax returns. In an effort to improve tax compliance without broadening enforcement capacity, this filer versus non-filer distinction was introduced through the Finance Act 2013 under the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government. It allowed the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to impose differential withholding tax rates on certain transactions — like vehicle registration, banking, and real estatebased on taxpayer status. This had several goals: encouraging non-filers to register and become filers, using third-party withholding as a substitute for weak enforcement, and generating quick revenue from high-volume transactions. Despite some early gains in revenue collection, the system created a host of negative consequences. It spawned a parallel economy which, rather than pushing non-filers into the formal system, effectively legalised non-compliance by allowing them to continue operatingalbeit at a higher cost. Instead of enforcing mandatory return filing, the government began collecting advance taxes from non-filers on transactions such as vehicle registration, bank withdrawals, and real estate deals. This turned non-compliance into a revenue stream. Many prefer to remain non-filers and simply absorb the higher withholding tax — it's often cheaper and less risky than formal registration. Cash-based and undocumented businesses continue to function outside the tax net, limiting the impact of broader economic reforms. A particularly troubling outcome is that filers often feel punished for their honesty, while non-filers continue with impunity. Filers face politically motivated audits, complex filing requirements, and penalties for minor errors. Non-filers avoid scrutiny altogether. This disillusionment fosters cynicism and erodes trust in tax authorities. Instead of encouraging compliance, the system paradoxically discourages it — especially when filers see no benefits in return for their transparency. Tax systems thrive on fairness and reciprocity. Yet this two-tier structure undermines both. Filers rarely witness improvements in public services or infrastructure proportional to their contributions, further dampening their motivation to comply. Knowing that non-compliance attracts no real penalty — beyond a slightly higher withholding rate — many make the rational decision to avoid filing. Certain sectors, like real estate and wholesale/retail trade, thrive despite being dominated by non-filers, making voluntary compliance appear naïve and burdensome. This split also introduces market distortions. Individuals and businesses structure transactions to dodge higher non-filer taxesusing intermediaries, splitting invoices, or underreporting. Genuine investors are deterred by sectors with high compliance burdens, creating a tilt toward low-visibility, low-regulation activities. Non-filers still invest in property— albeit at higher ratesfuelling speculation rather than productivity. While withholding taxes have boosted collection, actual compliance and accountability remain weak. The government may celebrate rising revenues, but much of it comes from advance taxes on non-filers who remain beyond the system's reach. There's been no expansion of the taxpayer base. Withholding doesn't equate to documentation or broader participation. Worse, the administrative burden has increased. Focusing on transaction-based tax grabs distracts from building institutional audit and enforcement capacity. This system undermines progressive taxation. A core tenet of modern tax policy is that those who earn more should pay morea principle weakened by our current regime. Withholding taxes are levied regardless of an individual's ability to pay, hitting poor and low-income non-filers hardest. Since non-filers are taxed per transaction, not income, the regime becomes regressive. Equity is eroded. The wealthiest often remain outside the net entirely by structuring their finances to avoid detection. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has called the upcoming budget a "structural budget" — implying fundamental reforms are on the table. If he truly intends to walk the talk, he must begin by scrapping the non-filer category. It's iniquitous and untenable. But this alone won't suffice. The FBR's enforcement capacity must be enhanced to manage a larger filer base. Digitisation must also accelerate. Cashless, online transactions should be made mandatory. AI can automate many functions — like audit selection — that currently rely on human input. These reforms will take time, but eliminating the non-filer status can happen immediately. It's the necessary first step, and it alone could significantly boost revenues and help reduce the chronic budget deficit that continues to haunt the country.

Weekly Cotton Review: Prices steady, trading activity subdued
KARACHI: The cotton market is showing stability in prices, though trading activity remains subdued. New crop deals for the 2025-26 seasons are being finalized between Rs. 17,200 to Rs. 17,500 per maund, while phutti (seed cotton) is trading at Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 8,500 per 40 kg. According to industry sources, approximately 2,200 bales of the new crop have already arrived at ginning factories across the country. Currently, three ginning factories in Sindh and four in Punjab are partially operational. Market participants anticipate a significant uptick in trading after Eid-ul-Adha. Punjab's Secretary of Agriculture, Iftikhar Ali Soho, reported that the province has achieved 94% of its cotton cultivation target for the current season. Meanwhile, the textile industry has renewed its demand for the abolition of the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) and the removal of the 18% sales tax on locally produced cotton. Additionally, calls for eliminating the General Sales Tax (GST) persist, with expectations that the issue may be addressed in the upcoming budget. The Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) and the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) have jointly urged the government to scrap the EFS and abolish the 18% sales tax on domestic cotton. Chairman of the Cotton Ginners Forum (CGF), Ihsan-ul-Haq, warned that the entire cotton sector is grappling with the worst economic crisis in the country's history, stressing the need for immediate policy interventions to revive the industry. During the past week, the local cotton market saw stable prices for cotton. Trading remained limited as the partial arrival of the new cotton crop has begun. Currently, three ginning factories in Sindh province are partially operational, while four ginning factories in Punjab province have also partially started ginning. Partial arrival of phutti (seed cotton) from the lower regions of Sindh has commenced, with approximately 2,200 bales of phutti having reached ginning factories so far. Increased trading activity is expected after Eid-ul-Adha. The government has set a production target of one crore eighteen lakh bales for the new 2025-26 season. Currently, trading in the ongoing season is slow, with cotton prices ranging between 15,000 to 17,500 rupees per maund. Most transactions are being conducted on credit, with deals based on quality and payment conditions. The stock of cotton with ginners is gradually decreasing. Federal Minister for Trade Jam Kamal Khan has stated that the government is seriously working to eliminate the 18% general sales tax on local cotton in order to boost cotton production. He shared this during a press conference on Monday. The PHMA (Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers Association) has urged the government to reduce electricity tariffs during peak hours to promote exports. In Sindh and Punjab provinces, cotton trading took place between 15,000 to 17,500 rupees per maund, depending on quality and payment conditions. New crop transactions were recorded at 17,000 to 17,500 rupees per maund, while phutti (seed cotton) was sold at 8,000 to 8,800 rupees per 40 kg. The Karachi Cotton Association's Spot Rate Committee maintained the spot rate stable at 16,700 rupees per maund. Naseem Usman, Chairman of the Karachi Cotton Brokers Forum, said that international cotton prices are experiencing fluctuations. New York cotton prices showed a mixed trend, with futures trading between 65.50 to 69 cents. According to the USDA's weekly export and sales report, 118,700 bales were sold for the year 2024-25. Vietnam remained at the top by purchasing 65,600 bales. Bangladesh secured the second position by buying 17,300 bales, while Turkey ranked third with 12,400 bales. For the year 2025-26, 13,800 bales were sold. Pakistan led the purchases with 7,600 bales, followed by Thailand in second place with 3,500 bales, and Peru in third place with 2,600 bales. Meanwhile, Punjab Agriculture Secretary Iftikhar Ali Sahu has informed the Business Club that cotton cultivation has been completed on over 33 lakh acres in Punjab, and the province has achieved 94% of the set target. He stated this while presiding over a high-level review meeting on the current situation of cotton. Punjab Agriculture Secretary Iftikhar Ali Sahu said that a unique and successful tradition has been established to improve cotton production through phased cultivation. Pakistan's cotton sector is facing its gravest financial crisis in decades, prompting swift government attention after urgent appeals from the Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) and the All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (Aptma). Both associations have launched a high-profile lobbying campaign, writing to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and initiating a nationwide media blitz, demanding the immediate abolition of the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) or the removal of sales tax on domestically produced cotton and its by-products. The premier subsequently sought policy recommendations from the Ministry of National Food Security and Research (MNFSR). In response, the ministry has formally endorsed the industry's proposals. In a letter to PCGA President Dr Jassu Mal, Cotton Commissioner Dr Khadim Hussain stated that the government has recommended that the 18pc sales tax on domestic cotton, cottonseed, oilcake, and cottonseed oil be lifted immediately, or that imports of cotton, yarn, and grey cloth be taxed at the same rate. The ministry's recommendations, forwarded to safeguard farmers' incomes, revive local production, and stem Pakistan's soaring dependence on costly cotton imports, it says. The communiqué notes that Punjab has implemented targeted subsidies for farmers to increase their incomes and reduce production costs for various crops. Industry data reveals that textile mills have imported over 300 million kgs of cotton yarn and two million bales of cotton during the first nine months of 2024-25, draining billions of dollars in foreign exchange. Despite this, domestic production has fallen to a historic low of just 5.5m bales. Meanwhile, more than 200,000 bales of unsold cotton and vast stocks of yarn remain idle in factories, with demand at a standstill. Cotton Ginners Forum Chairman Ihsanul Haq says the fallout has been devastating as over 800 ginning units and 120 spinning mills have ceased to function, while hundreds more textile units are barely functioning. 'If the current policy persists, the sector risks total collapse,' he warns, adding that Pakistan may soon be forced to import not only cotton but also edible oil, compounding the country's financial woes. The MNFSR's recommendations underscore the urgency, recommending immediate tax relief for domestic producers or the imposition of equal taxes on imports to restore a level playing field. All eyes are now on the federal government, as the fate of Pakistan's cotton and textile industry hangs in the balance. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025
