Why pay Sales tax and Income tax on import ???

[Mujahid Memon]

I was looking on internet about import tax and duties in Pakistan. I went to a page and a video linked below;

https://geniusimpex.org/calculate-import-customs-duty-and-taxes/

But I cannot understand why I have to pay Sales Tax and Income besides Custom duties because as far as I know, Sales tax is applied when we sell some item/product to a customer and income tax is applied on net income of a person if its above a certain threshold (600k per year as of 2019)

you have to pay following taxes on port.
Custom duty, Sales tax, Additional Custom duty, Additional Sales tax, Income Tax.For example your product is of 100 Pkr.
20 % custom duty 120
17 % sales tax 120 +20.4= 140.4
7 % Additional Custom Duty 140.4 +9.828= 150.228
3 % Additional Sales Tax 150.228 +4.506 = 154.73
5.5% Income Tax 154.73 +8.51 = 163.24
Now your cost is 163.243
let say u sell it at 200 plus Gst which is 200+34= 234
When you file sales tax return at month end. you have to deposit 34 - (20.4 + 4.506)
which is 9.094 pkr
