      <title>Govt decides against extending tax concessions beyond June 30</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330459732/govt-decides-against-extending-tax-concessions-beyond-june-30</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The federal government has decided not to extend the sales tax and income tax concessions that are set to expire on June 30, 2026, sources said on Monday&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starting July 1, all relevant sectors, goods, and industrial inputs will be subject to applicable taxes, the sources added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Ministry of Finance’s Tax Policy Unit and the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) have reviewed all existing tax exemptions and concessions in this regard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the sources, the government has been bearing substantial revenue losses due to tax waivers, preferential rates, zero-rating, import incentives, and other special tax facilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sales tax rate on imports and industrial supplies in the former tribal areas (FATA and PATA) will be increased from 10% to 12%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, several tax incentives previously granted to the electric and hybrid vehicle sector will also expire on June 30, 2026 and will not be extended.&lt;/p&gt;
