The government of Pakistan has imposed a 10 percent super tax on large-scale industries, such as cement, steel, and automobiles which increases inflation in the country. it also declines the value of the rupee against the dollar.

             This will cause an increase in the prices of petroleum and other materials. The imposition of this tax is a burden on the poor class in society. Certain sudden price hikes and the Imposition of taxes will do nothing special but compel the masses to carry out protests and sit-ins.

            The government, imposing a tax on large-scale industries, has also imposed a 4 percent tax on those industries whose income is 150 million rupees or above 150 million rupees which will negatively affect the economy to a greater level.

            The government of Pakistan is requested to reconsider its current decisions and withdraw the recently imposed taxes.
