The Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) has demanded withdrawal of SRO 191(I)2012 and said merely deferment of this SRO till next budget would be a joke with trade community. The MCCI suggested that the finance minister give patient hearing to all chambers' demands. In a statement issued here.
MCCI President Anis'A Sheikh said that though decision to delay SRO 191 till budget would go a long way in giving boost to economic activities in the country as seeking computerised National Identity Card numbers or National Tax Numbers of the unregistered buyers, manufacturers, importers and exporters was practically impossible but it must be extended till next fiscal year. He said that the FBR should take measures to bring the untaxed sectors of the economy into the tax net instead of squeezing those who were already in the tax net and paying all their dues.
