Refunds payment sought

Published October 27, 2016

SIALKOT: The Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) on Wed­nesday expressed concern over the inordinate delay in payments of duty drawback, income and sales tax refunds claims by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).

Addressing a meeting of Sialkot trade bodies, SCCI President Majid Raza Bhutta said the nonpayment of refunds claims to exporters was leading Sialkot industries to Sialkot industries.

Mr Bhutta demanded trade and export-related in­­centives for industries and hurdle-free measures by the government for the promotion of exports.
