Customers will no longer need to pay Value Added Tax (VAT) on purchases at superstores.

According to a release from the National Board of Revenue (NBR), the retail price of products will now be the final amount payable. The VAT department of the NBR issued a notification regarding this on Thursday.

The decision was made after several meetings between NBR authorities and superstore owners. Previously, VAT rates ranged from 1.5% to 5%, with a 7.5% rate applied in last year’s budget.
