He expressed his surprised on FBR notices, as entire country is in lockdown for prevention of coronavirus pandemic and urged the chairman FBR to issue directives to chief commissioners and all RTOs to stop harassing commercial importers so that import activities could be restored after the lockdown.
The chairman PCDMA further said that if all notices including income tax, sales tax, WHT and other proceeding not stopped for at least 2 months then the textile industry will badly be affected which is the backbone of the domestic economy as commercial importers are the largest means of providing raw materials to the textile industry to continue production activities.
