The Ministry has suggested eliminating the regulatory tariff on telecom equipment imports as a top priority. A tax credit for new IT graduates has also been proposed in the same category. In the same vein, the government has recommended simplifying the tax structure for the sector, which is seen as a major roadblock to its expansion.
However, in order to achieve the digital goal, the Ministry has proposed lowering taxes on mobile handsets in category two.

A cut in mobile phone taxation has also been proposed by the Senate Standing Committee. The committee was informed that a mobile phone worth $500 is subject to a tax of Rs. 80,000. A tax exemption for laptops was also advocated by the committee. The FBR has been urged to lower the tax on imported phones, according to Secretary IT.
