The same for filers and non-filers Phone and internet are left out of the higher non-filer rates, so everyone pays this rate.

One exception: 75% If the FBR has published an order naming you for not filing a return, this amount is charged 75% instead — Rs. 750. The FBR can publish an order naming people who were required to file a return and did not. Numbers belonging to those people are charged 75% instead of 15%.

Counts towards your income taxIt counts as income tax you have already paid. Put it on your yearly return and it comes off your final bill, or comes back as a refund if you owe less. Never file, and it is simply gone.

How this was worked out

15% of the Rs. 1,000 you load is income tax — Rs. 150. That leaves Rs. 850 before your operator takes its own sales tax and charges.

This money is not lost — but it is not automatic either

These deductions count as income tax you have already paid for the year. You claim them back by putting them on your yearly return, along with the certificates your bank, electricity company or operator can give you. Someone who never files never claims them, and the money simply stays with the FBR.

Mobile and internet tax questions

Questions about the tax on loads and phone bills

Why Rs. 100 of load gives you less than Rs. 100, and what you can do about it.

How much tax is on a mobile load in Pakistan?

Advance income tax is 15% of the amount, so Rs. 15 of every Rs. 100 you load goes to the FBR under Section 236. Provincial sales tax and your operator’s service charges come out on top of that.

Is internet charged the same as mobile?

Yes. Internet, mobile phone and prepaid cards all carry 15% of the bill or sale price. Only a landline is treated differently.

How is a landline bill taxed?

At 10%, and only on the part of the monthly bill above Rs. 1,000. So a Rs. 1,000 landline bill has no income tax on it, and a Rs. 3,000 bill is taxed on Rs. 2,000.

Do filers pay less on phone and internet?

No. Section 236 is left out of the higher non-filer rates, so everyone pays the same 15%. The one exception is people the FBR has publicly named for not filing, who are charged 75%.

Why do I get less balance than I load?

The 15% income tax comes out of the amount you load rather than being added to it. Provincial sales tax and any operator charges come out as well, which is why Rs. 100 of load leaves you with noticeably less talk time.

Can I claim mobile tax back?

Yes, it is adjustable. Your operator can give you a tax certificate for the year, and the amount goes on your return and comes off your final income tax bill. Only people who file can claim it.

This calculator shows income tax only. A load also carries provincial sales tax and your operator’s own service charges, so the balance you see on your phone will be lower again. This is an estimate, not tax or legal advice.
