Tag: Finance Bill 2025

Pakistan’s Finance Bill 2025–26 introduces new tax rules for eCommerce, mandating 2% sales tax on digital orders, seller registration, and compliance reporting. Payment intermediaries and couriers now play a central role in tax collection under a formalized regulatory framework.

The Pakistan Banks Association warns that the new e-commerce tax proposed in the Finance Bill 2025 may be unworkable without clearer guidelines, proper infrastructure, and an implementation timeline. Banks and other stakeholders cite ambiguity around tax rates, definitions, and intermediary roles as major challenges.
