00:00Let's ask our representative Anwar about the impact of the tax on stationary items.

00:07Anwar, please tell us how much tax has been imposed and which items have been taxed more.

00:11And what is the situation in this whole situation?

00:16When the training session will start in August,

00:21the situation is that 18% GST has been imposed.

00:27If you buy raw materials,

00:30and if you buy stationary items,

00:33then you will have to pay 10% duty.

00:36And if you are a filer,

00:39then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

00:42And if you are a non-filer, then you will have to pay 2.5% duty.

00:45And if we talk about Urdu Bazaar in Karachi,

00:50and all the Urdu Bazaars in Subhash Singh,

00:53if you buy stationary items,

00:56then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

00:59And if you buy stationary items,

01:02then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

01:05And if you buy stationary items,

01:08then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

01:11And if you buy stationary items,

01:14then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

01:17And if you buy stationary items,

01:21then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

01:24And if you buy stationary items,

01:27then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

01:30And if you buy stationary items,

01:33then you will have to pay 0.5% duty.

01:36So, in Karachi,

01:39we have a big market with many vendors,

01:42and a big market that has to be made,

01:45and you have to make a few product.

01:48will be on the highest level, so obviously it will be very difficult for parents to buy it.

01:53If we talk about the various colors of branded pencils, 3-4 are such that if you buy a 6-color box

02:01which has 6 pencils, its price is Rs. 950. If you buy a 12-pencil box, its price is Rs. 1,500.

02:08And if you buy a 50-pencil box, its price goes up to Rs. 5,500. So all of these are on the highest level.

02:15If you talk about bags and pencil boxes for children, the minimum cost of that pencil box is Rs. 450-500

02:25which is made of ordinary raw material. If you buy a high-quality pencil box for children

02:31which has all the stationery and all the things, its price goes up to Rs. 2,000-2,500.

02:38So all of these prices are on the highest level. Obviously, if there is a problem of GST,

02:43filer and non-filer, then as a result of that situation, parents face a lot of burden.

02:47Traders tell us that if we sell these things, then they have to pay one or two percent.

02:52Okay, let's talk about what traders tell us.

02:57We have with us in the studio, Chairman of the Urdu Bazaar Traders Association, Mr. Sajid Yusuf.

03:05Mr. Yusuf, thank you very much for taking out time for us.

03:08Do you know that these are things that are used daily?

03:12There is sharpener, pencil, rubber, stationery, books, copies, etc.

03:18In this, how much increase has been made compulsorily?

03:22How much GST has been added?

03:24Earlier it was 0%, now it is 18%.

03:29In all items?

03:32Yes, the stationery items, the raw materials that we are importing from outside.

03:36Earlier there was a container worth Rs. 1 crore, now it is worth Rs. 1 crore and 18 lakhs.

03:40And if we order a good finish, then it will cost us Rs. 10 lakhs.

03:46One pencil packet was for Rs. 191.

03:49Now it is for Rs. 215.

03:52I am telling you the wholesale rate price.

03:55The pencil which was for Rs. 15, Rs. 18, Rs. 20, now it is for Rs. 30.

04:01It will be attractive, it will be cute, it will be more expensive.

04:04The saddest thing is that we are a very poor country.

04:09There is no solution for the students here.

04:14If these are daily necessities, then I request the government to take back the taxes.

04:25Apart from this, they have not spared us.

04:28If you go to our books, there is a bookshop, Oxford University Press.

04:35Its books also have 0.5% advance tax and 2.5% non-filer.

04:40The non-filer has 0.5% advance tax.

04:43Any filer will charge 0.5%.

04:46The wholesale rate is only 2.5%.

04:50If a non-filer charges 2.5%, then what will they sell?

04:55What is the issue you are facing?

04:57Ultimately, the burden will be on everyone.

04:59Everything is getting more expensive.

05:03If 18% GST is charged and 2.5% is charged,

05:09and 6% advance tax is being charged,

05:14Why is this happening?

05:15Taxes are not being controlled.

05:19Taxes are not being understood by anyone.

05:21What is your demand now?

05:22Taxes should be abolished from our books.

05:27And facilities should be provided to our students and parents.

05:32Education is provided in the whole world.

05:36What do you think?

05:38The government wants taxes to be imposed on every class.

05:44How are they collecting taxes from you?

05:47Sir, a mobile phone costs Rs. 1 lakh.

05:50Why are they paying Rs. 20,000?

05:52A car costs Rs. 1 crore.

05:54Is it necessary to use a pencil?

05:56People will not use it.

05:58They will use buses and walk.

06:00So you think there are no taxes there?

06:02A mobile phone is so cheap.

06:04Is it necessary to use a mobile phone?

06:08When there was no mobile phone,

06:10there was no life in the world.

06:12There is no life without a mobile phone.

06:14I just want to know from you.

06:16I asked you a question.

06:18The government wants taxes to be imposed on every class.

06:21Not just the salaried class.

06:23How are they collecting taxes from you?

06:28They are collecting 2.5% and 5% in advance.

06:31They have also brought taxes in the Tajir Dost scheme.

06:36Rs. 100 and Rs. 10,000.

06:38In which bracket do you come in?

06:40We are Alhamdulillah Musafilers.

06:42We come in 100, 500 and Rs. 10,000.

06:46In which bracket do you come in?

06:48Have you estimated?

06:50We don't have an idea.

06:52We will know when it is implemented.

06:54We are Musafilers.

06:56We will bring you back.

06:58There should be a mechanism.

07:00Tax is not just a duty of the salaried class.

07:04Everyone has to contribute.

07:06There should be a mechanism

07:08that is applicable to the government.

07:10The government has given 25% tax.

07:13Did you give a suggestion?

07:16I don't think there should be taxes in education.

07:20Do you know how much you will spend on education?

07:23If education becomes common,

07:25the country will develop.

07:27Apart from this, there are taxes everywhere.

07:31If you look at the electricity bill,

07:33there are no taxes.

07:35What is the issue?

07:37Are we importing papers?

07:39There is no tax.

07:41They want to bring everyone across the board.

07:43There is a child, a student.

07:45What is his fault?

07:48If the tax is 18% here,

07:52it will be 20% in 2.5 years.

07:56Companies increase the rate by 5-10%.

07:59You will have to increase the rate.

08:01Not us, the companies that are increasing the rate.

08:04There are big companies like Ducks, Dollar, Piano, Picasso.

08:10These are big companies.

08:12When they are giving taxes,

08:14earlier GST was 0%.

08:16Today it is 18%.

08:18They have increased the rate by 10-12%.

08:20If the GST percentage is reduced,

08:22will you be satisfied?

08:24Yes, it should be reduced.

08:26It will benefit everyone.

08:28It will benefit the students.

08:30Our argument is not this.

08:32We are paying taxes.

08:34There are no businesses in Karachi

08:36that are not paying taxes.

08:38They are paying taxes in everything.

08:40That's right.

08:42All the traders are feeling the pain of the people.

08:46How are the students getting GST?

08:50First, your tax is going from your salary.

08:53Second, you are paying in electricity bills.

08:55There are so many taxes.

08:57You are paying GST everywhere.

08:59Talk about this and solve the issue.

09:01Education should be free of cost.

09:03When you take tax from the taxpayer,

09:05it should be a quality education.

09:07But what can we do?

09:09It is not like that.

09:11You raised the voice of the traders.
