He clarified that the government is not going to impose any tax on mobile phone calls, SMS and internet data. A proposal in this regard was mooted but the federal cabinet rejected it, he added.
The first issue is that we donโt have enough revenue, the minister said. We have to enhance the tax-to-GDP percentage to twenty per cent over a period of seven to eight years, he added.
