A slew of business-friendly measures, including tariff cuts on nearly 350 items, may be stipulated in the upcoming national budget in a taxation remodelling by the new government.
In a move to rationalise trade taxes, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) lately plans to reduce customs duty on around 70 items, regulatory duty on 210 items, and supplementary duty on 60 items.
The National Tariff Policy and Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) has been followed to rationalise the tariffs, officials say.
The government is set to unveil a substantial package of tax incentives for the solar-energy sector in the upcoming national budget as part of efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and strengthen energy security amid continued volatility in global energy markets.
