Kasim Gillani on PTA Mobile Taxes: When Digital Policy Punishes the Citizen

Pakistan’s mobile taxes have turned smartphones into unusable luxuries. Learn why high PTA duties hurt freelancers, waste foreign exchange, and block digital growth—and why zero-rating phones may be the smarter policy.

  • Imported devices sit idle

  • Billions in spent foreign exchange produce zero utility

  1. Forex is spent

  2. Productivity is blocked

This is not revenue generation.
This is economic leakage.
