ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Saturday said that it is considering imposing a tax on Nato supply trucks going to Afghanistan from Pakistan routes.
Nato supplies are sent to Afghanistan through Chaman and Torkhum road networks. According to sources, some 500 trucks filled from Pakistani refineries go to Afghanistan on a daily basis.
This has been a daily routine since last seven years.
Numerous Pakistani highways have been adversely affected due to the transporting of heavy trucks and hence the federal government said that it has started considering a tax on the supply trucks. The government may also demand road tax from the US for the past seven years of transporting these trucks, which would amount to approximately Rs.600 million.
