LAHORE: All Pakistan Anjman-e-Tajran (APAT) has asked the federal government to reduce the burden of taxes on the traders in next budget 2016-17.
APAT President Khalid Pervaiz said that the government should announce a business-friendly budget. He added that increase in taxes will damage the business of people.
In order to increase the tax collection, the Federal Board of Revenue should broaden the tax net by bringing the non-taxpayers into tax net. The government should facilitate the trader, especially small traders to strengthen the national economy.
Aslam Pervaiz also said that the government should overcome energy deficit to facilitate the industries. Proper energy supply to factories and industries will impose positive impact on national exports.
