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.
