Re: Attention Experienced Smokers!!
seems you never liked K2 (cigarette).
Interesting facts. When British started ruling India, they just levied Excise Duty and that too on the products they wanted to discourage consumption of. So, as they were against local clothes Industry, they levied Excise Duty on local Clothes and exported low quality clothes from Europe was exempted from Excise. The tax on Income was levied lately in 1920’s by introducing Income Tax Act, 1922.
In Pakistan, each budget increases the price of cigarette due to increase in excise Duty. But now other indirect taxes (Sales Tax) is being imposed even on slimming centers, transportation, beauty parlors. They did try to levy Sales Tax on medical facilities in this budget, but aakhri waqt main Sindh assembly main kisi jiyale ne Benazir ki qabar ka wasta de kar ye azaab talwaya
