<h2 style="text-align:justify">1. Government Taxes on Online Transactions</h2>

Under recent amendments introduced through the Finance Act, 2025, specific taxes apply to digitally ordered goods sold through online marketplaces.

These taxes are government-imposed and are collected as required by law.

	</li>
</ul>

A withholding tax of 1% of the gross transaction amount is deducted as required under Section 6A of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

This tax is collected by the payment intermediary and deposited with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).

<h3 style="text-align:justify">B. Withholding Tax on Cash-on-Delivery (COD)</h3>

If a customer chooses Cash-on-Delivery (COD):

A withholding tax of 2% of the gross transaction amount is deducted as required under Section 6A of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001.

This tax is collected by the courier company and deposited with FBR.

Where applicable, Sales Tax (GST) is charged in accordance with the Sales Tax Act, 1990.

<ul>
	<li>
	The standard federal GST rate is generally 18% (unless a reduced or zero rate applies to specific goods).
	</li>
	<li>
	Sales tax applicability depends on the seller’s registration status and the nature of goods being sold.

</ul>

If applicable, sales tax is included in the displayed price or clearly indicated at checkout.

	</li>
	<li>

	</li>
</ul>

Failure to comply may result in suspension or removal from the platform.
