What la with this country! Coming soon will have the Goods & Service Tax (GST) and now want us to pay for the Airtime tax whenever we reload on our prepaid number!
According to the Sun daily, prepaid mobile phone users will have to pay more for airtime next month as telecommunication companies are going ahead with a plan to pass on the 6% service tax to consumers despite opposition from several quarters.
It was reported earlier that the service tax will be implemented on Sept 1 but a source said the implementation date may not be the first of the month but sometime during the month.
Can we oppose on this plan?
