Outdoor Advertising Association Multan (OAAM) activists on Thursday staged a demonstration in front of Multan Press Club to press the City District Government for withdrawal of double taxation on the hoardings and publicity boards.
Muhammad Riaz, Vice President of the Association said that they are already paying income tax, sales tax, and other taxes of City District, Punjab Highways, Cantonment Board, Pakistan Railways, Wapda, and TMAs. He said that they are paying hoarding rent in Peshawar, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Karachi, Gujranwala etc, but in Multan they are paying publicity tax to City District Government and rent to MDA, which is unjustified. They said that their protest would continue till the withdrawal of unjust taxes.
