LAHORE: PML-N Traders Wing President Nasir Saeed has said that SRO culture is one major impediment in the way of revenue collections and it needs to be abolished immediately.
In an exclusive talk with Customs Today, he said traders should pay their due taxes, however, they should not be harassed unduly. He was of the view that customs duty on import of goods should be revisited so that the evil of under-invoicing and smuggling may be overcome.
“PMLN Trader Wing is the real representative of the traders, importers, exporters and industrialists as it has been sincerely working for the welfare of the traders by resolving their basic problem. It is a common practice that fake leaders trap the innocent traders under the disguise of well-wishers but at the end they vanish away with their hard earned money,” Saeed commented.
The PML-N Traders Wing has resolved many issues between the government and traders agreeably by presenting the issues before the government in a very artistically evolved system.
“Recently traders and importers, exporters have resorted to stage demonstrations. At that very time PML-N Traders Wing took initiative to communicate to the top political leadership who took emergent measure to extend relief to the businessmen,” Saeed highlighted.
He said that the issues were resolved as soon as the leadership immediately arranged an urgent meeting with the Finance Minister, FBR Chairman and Members and representatives of sales tax and income tax department.
“Present government is a business-friendly government and it is always ready to resolve the business community problems in order to bring back the fragile economy of the country on track,” the Wing’s president stated, adding that GSP Plus is a landmark achievement of the government which will help the country to boost the country’s exports, creating opportunities of employments for the unemployed masses.
“The foreign investors have full confidence in the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and as a result of it the world leaders have started considering hefty investments in the country,” he said.
China has promised to invest $32 billion in Pakistan which has become possible due to honesty of the purpose and sincere effort of top leadership, he said, adding that more useful accord with the country are in the offing.
Positive results of government’s efforts have started coming to the limelight and the time is not far when Pakistan will become prosperous in every respect and stand as example among the nations of the world.
