Mobile handset makers yesterday anticipated a 10 percent slack sale, if the proposed 25 percent tax on each imported set remains unchanged in the final budget for the fiscal year 2009-10.
The new duty may prompt imports of the handsets through illegal channel, which ultimately lead to a huge revenue loss, they told a press conference in Dhaka yesterday.
"Mobile set price may increase 15 to 17 percent on imposition of the new duty," said Nowfel Anower, head of marketing of Nokia EA Limited.
Urging the government to reconsider the tariff, he said a specific amount of Tk 100 could be clamped on the import of each set.
