KARACHI, Nov 25: The government is to introduce a uniform standard tax rate by replacing 12 tax rates to make it easy for the common man to understand the new tax regime.

This was stated by Khawaja Tanveer Ahmed, commissioner RTO Karachi, while speaking at a seminar on Thursday.

He said under the Reformed GST the government has short listed exemptions from 460 items to just 15 items, which would help in increasing the revenue collection.

The seminar on RGST was organised by Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan (ICMA) and Professional Accountants Forum (PAFO) at ICMA premises.
