The deductions follow a straightforward 15% rate. To calculate, you simply multiply the load amount by 0.85 (85%) to get the net balance after tax. For example:
- For a 100 Rupee load: 100 x 0.85 = Rs 88.89
- For a 500 Rupee load: 500 x 0.85 = Rs 425
Why is the Jazz Load Tax Deducted?
The 15% deduction is a government tax applied to prepaid mobile services nationwide in Pakistan. This tax helps generate revenue for the government and is applicable across all telecom operators in the country, not just Jazz. Unfortunately, there’s currently no exemption from this tax for prepaid users.
How Can You Check Your Balance?
After loading balance to your Jazz prepaid account, you can quickly check the amount by dialing *111# from your Jazz SIM card. This will display your updated credit after the tax deduction.
