The National Assembly has approved the Finance (Supplementary) Bill 2023, which states that the general sales tax (GST) rate has been raised to 18%.

Several industries and sectors boosted the cost of goods and services as a result of the GST hike.


Pakistan's automobile industry has been severely impacted by the continuing economic crisis as a result of difficulties issuing letters of credit that resulted from the fast diminishing foreign exchange reserves and a weakening rupee.
