KARACHI: The business community has sought Sindh governor’s help
in federal tax related matters and excessive discretionary powers used by the
Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) against industry and trade.
A
delegation of Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) met Sindh
governor Muhammad Zubair on Tuesday, and apprised him of the harassment faced
at the hands of FBR officials by the business and industrial community.
The
governor has been informed that unnecessary raids were being conducted to
harass businessmen and industrialists, and the situation has terribly shattered
the confidence of the entire business community.
According
to a statement issued by the KCCI, the governor assured the business community
that a meeting between KCCI and FBR chairman along with relevant officials
would be called soon at the Governor House to resolve the issues.
The
delegation of KCCI comprised of Businessmen Group vice chairman Tahir Khaliq,
KCCI president Shamim Ahmed Firpo, KCCI senior vice president Asif Nisar, and
other office bearers.
KCCI
delegation also invited Governor Sindh to inaugurate Karachi Chamber’s 14th My
Karachi Oasis of Harmony Exhibition scheduled to start at the Expo Centre from
April 7, 2017.
