Dispatches from cement plants are still facing unrest in Pakistan. The government’s new tax policy has been opposed and has led to continue the continued protests since 1 July.
The All Pakistan Cement Distributors Association (APCDA) has supported the action following the government’s introduction of new tax measures in the federal budget 2019-20. To move forward, APCDA has called a of the association’s general body today to discuss all tax-related matters, ie withholding tax and different taxes imposed on distribution/transportation of cement.
Furthermore, the discussion held between All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association with its Taxation Officer and association, and its tax experts would also be discussed. A resolution will then be submitted at the end of the meeting on 17 July 2019 in the office of Federation of Pakistan of Chamber & Industry, Lahore, to work out APCDA’s plan.
From my point of view, unsystematic business and tax related activities were the key barriers against the economic conspiracies of the pakistan enemies to make it economically weak. Now the govt is making it systematic. I fear that huge changes might be harmful for Pakistan. Minute changes may guide us better.
