I guess this isn't high on anyone's agenda, but there is something in the budget that would make all software more expensive.
So, the 16% GST will probably come into affect for all software legally imported and sold in Pakistan. There was also something about the cost of computer software getting higher due to some other duty but I can't find any news about that.
Duty in commercial importers has been raised by 1% to around 3% now. That could have an affect on prices, but I doubt any electronic importer pays any kind of tax to begin with.
I'll keep you updated as soon as I find out more news.
