Have you ever wondered where the funds come from to improve hospitals, schools, and public transportation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa? A significant portion of this crucial revenue comes from the Sales Tax on Services (STS) collected by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA).
Why We Pay Sales Tax on Services?
The STS isn’t just a burden on your wallet; it’s an investment in your community. When you pay a sales tax on services, you’re directly contributing to the provincial government’s budget. These funds are then allocated to essential development and social welfare projects that directly impact your life.
Seeing the Impact:
Imagine a doctor treating you in a newly upgraded hospital or your child receiving quality education in a renovated school. These improvements are fueled by the collective contributions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa residents through the STS.
Beyond Basic Needs:
The STS also goes towards projects like the Rapid Bus Transit system, offering a more efficient and affordable transportation option. Furthermore, the Health Card program, partially funded by the STS, allows millions of residents easier access to healthcare services.
Your Contribution Matters:
By paying your taxes, you’re not just complying with the law; you’re actively participating in building a better Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Every rupee collected through the STS goes towards creating a more prosperous and healthy province for all residents.
