No new tax imposed on textile export, clarifies Pak FBR

Chairman of Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue Shabbar Zaidi recently allayed reported impressions of new taxes levied on textile export, saying the export sector already had tax-related exemptions, which continue. Because of a number of complaints regarding sales tax registration, the board has now automated the system, the chairman said.

FBR will gradually move towards a fully automated system, he said.

The Afghan transit trade and smuggling issues are being seriously addressed by the board, he added.
