The Telecom Operators Association (TOA) has urged the government to implement key fiscal and regulatory reforms to accelerate the 5G rollout in Pakistan and drive digital growth.
Key recommendations include revoking the FBR Commissioner's authority to reject advance tax estimates, restoring flexibility in the ADRC process, and implementing a quarterly advance tax payment system.
The TOA also proposes reductions in import duties and regulatory charges on telecom equipment to lower operational costs and attract investment.
These reforms aim to create a business-friendly environment, streamline operations, and support Pakistan's transition towards a stronger digital economy.
