Cell phone companies call charges in Pakistan

No matter how the  cell phone service providers advertise  their call charges - the call rates are Rs. 6 per minute. This includes all the other charges like: Line rent LLD GSM service GST Advanced Income Tax So it is fairly expensive to make calls. The advertised call charges hide the actual charges. Why should cell phone companies charge income tax from its subscribers? Income tax is on the  income the cell phones  and it has nothing to do with the subscribers, unless cell phone companies are committing tax fraud.  They are hiding their actual income from the auditors and the tax collectors.
