PTCL bill payments for services are generally subject to withholding tax (WHT) under Section 236 (Advance Income Tax) for customers, while payments for services rendered to PTCL may fall under Section 153(1)(b). AIT (often 10-15% or higher) is deducted from customer bills, though it is not a direct 153(1)(b) deduction on the user's consumption.
