Budget 2021-22: Pakistan May Witness Major Price Hike In Petroleum Products

by
Budget 2021 petroleum price

Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin has on Friday after announcing the Budget 2021-22 said the prices of petroleum products will be increased in the coming month as talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) continue over the stabilization of revenue collection.

Shaukat Tarin said the petroleum levy would be raised up to Rs600 billion in the announced Budget 2021-22 so the levy will have to be jacked up in the range of Rs20 to Rs25 per litre, while currently Rs5 per litre levy was being charged.

When asked whether Pakistan will pull out of the IMF programme if the Fund rejects the proposals and sticks to its demands, the finance minister said Pakistan will not exit from the programme, adding that the Fund had asked Pakistan to present its budget so negotiations will continue.

He said Saudi Arabia had agreed to provide oil on deferred payments, but it could not be ascertained how much oil Pakistan will get.

Ambitious target

In the Finance Bill 2021-22, the government is eyeing Rs506 billion in additional revenue through taxation and enforcement measures during the next fiscal year.

The FBR will fetch a net additional collection of Rs264 billion through taxation measures and another Rs242 billion in the shape of enforcement measures.

In order to materialise the fixed tax target of Rs5.8 trillion, the FBR will generate Rs2.1 trillion through direct taxes and Rs3.6 trillion in the shape of indirect taxes.

It clearly indicates that the reliance on increased indirect taxation will continue for the next fiscal year.

Federal Govt. Notified Lowering Sales Tax On Petroleum Products

Earlier, the Federal government had announced to lower sales tax on petroleum products.

According to a notification issued today, the sales tax on Kerosene oil was lowered to 10.07% against the previously charged tax of 15.44%. The sales tax on light diesel was lowered to 3.67% from 7.56%.

Coronavirus vaccines | Pharmacist tried to destroy Covid-19 vaccines

by
Coronavirus vaccines

Wisconsin: A pharmacist who tried to destroy hundreds of coronavirus vaccines was sentenced to three years in prison.

Steven Brandenburg, 46, admitted that he tried to destroy hundreds of coronavirus vaccines because he deceptively believed that they were harmful.

The pharmacist pleaded guilty to two counts of attempting to tamper with consumer products with irresponsible disregard for the risk that another person will be placed in danger of death or physical injury.

Catherine Hermsen, assistant commissioner for criminal investigation for the FDA, said: “Those who knowingly tamper with this vaccine place American patients’ health at risk. Today’s announcement should serve as a reminder that this kind of illicit tampering activity will not be tolerated.”

The hospital had to throw out the affected vials which contained more than 500 doses of the vaccine after learning what Brandenburg had done.

US District Judge Brett Ludwig ordered Brandenburg to serve three years of supervised release and to pay nearly $84,000 in restitution to the hospital, according to the Department of Justice.
