Prices of Imported cars increase AGAIN!

[Arghan]

The prices of imported cars have again gone up today.
The reason being that first we used to get 2% per month depreciation on import and now it is 1% per month.

A very small example :-
duty on vitz 1000cc is $5500
after getting 2% depreciation per month and a maximum of 25 months, we used to get 50% depreciation and duty used to be $2750 which is Rs.220000

now we will get only 1% per month and a maximum of 25 months , therefore 5500-25% is 4125
Duty now becomes 330000

theres an increase of 110000 on the duty of 1000cc car.
now you can imagine how much other vehicles will cost.!!!

Thanks for the info Arghan...dont know what other changes the govt will do through these 'mini budgets' throughout the year..take for example road tax is now 75% more costlier on the pretext of income tax...sad sad

Brother, this is a VERY stupid country

This happens nowhere in the world.
Anything or everything that the Fedral Board of Revenue wants to change , they should do it once a year in the budget when every businessman decides what he/she has to do over the year.
In Pakistan, you never know and it happens all of a sudden.

^Agree!!

@Arghan
Sadly, Pakistanis have developed a habit of criticizing EACH AND EVERYTHING that happens in the country, which, i believe is VERY WRONG. And they always say, 'Pakistan is this...', 'Pakistan is that...'. But Pakistan is not at fault here. Unfortunately, Pakistan has never had good administrators. If in the right hands, it could be a GREAT country. So, the administration, and NOT the country, is stupid.

^^correct.

[Arghan]

you are absoloutly right...

just look whose leading the country:S

[skyline_master]

^ man the country is not stupid, the people running it are!

[mclarendillon]

i really wish if i could post the CV of your elected president.. :D.. i don't want that "others" should also get a chance to look at it..

[fso]

Arhan i don't think its right for us to blame our country if we wanna blame some one it should be our self because we are the one who pick these uneducated people to run the country ..every time ppp govt has came we want back wards same thing is happening now ..first time it came we lost east pak 2nd time it came we became the most corrupted country in the world dont no what we gonna lose now ....every one is the same whether its ppp or pml or pmln these idiots dont know how to run a country u guys know why becasue they dont know what gorbat is ..they dont know the needs of a common man .they have never step out side there castle to see what people want ...if the rulers wont what the people want how the fuc***k could they fix the problem ..its time we need a leader who can save Pakistan .we need a leader who knows what gorbat is and what a common person wants ... these people should fix our country instead of fixing 52 8 b and 17 termim and see whats the main problem is like no lights no patrol no gas and high prices ...only things these people care about is power sharing and who wants to be pm and cm and the president ..i hope people would wake up now and see and realiaze that these are the people because of whom pakistan is so backwards...because when people do thats when our beautiful country that our ancestors have gave there lives for could go at the top ...

"Pakistan is not stupid,.. sadly most of the people have a bad memory"
