Pakistan’s virtual negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reduce taxes on stationery items have failed. According to sources, the IMF has insisted on maintaining the 10% sales tax on stationery items, leading to a significant increase in prices, despite efforts by the government. Sources said that the tax increase has resulted in a 15% rise in prices of stationery items, affecting students, businesses, and the general public.
