The tax will be applicable for travel from today (July 1, 2022) regardless of the issuance of tickets


Islamabad: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has increased the tax amount on business class passengers from Rs10,000 to Rs50,000.
The tax will be applicable for travel from today (July 1, 2022) regardless of the issuance of tickets.
“All business class passengers whose tickets are already issued for travel on July 1 or later are hereby informed that this difference may be collected at the airport by airline staff,” the notification said.
The Pakistan International Airline (PIA) spokesperson said that the tax hike will not affect the price of the national carrier’s tickets because its planes do not have business class facilities.
He clarified that on PIA’s economy plus class, similar taxes which are applicable to the economy class are applied.
