Internet likely to be cheaper from December

The government is likely to reduce the value-added tax (VAT) for the backward linkage of internet service providers to 5 per cent with a view to lowering the internet price for the end users.
“This decision has been finalised by the finance ministry recently and will come into effect from 1 December next,” posts, telecommunications and it minister Mustafa Jabbar told on Thursday.
This step will benefit more than 90 million internet users as all the internet service-providing channels will be paying 5 per cent VAT down from the existing 15 per cent, he added.
“This will reduce the cost for internet users,” said the minister.
