The chairman said on Friday that there is no deadlock between small traders and FBR. The traders are an integral and useful part of the economy. As a regulator of tax, they will accept all suggestions and recommendations placed by the trader community. If the made suggestions are in the interest of the economy and people of Pakistan.
As Chairman FBR I deny any deadlock between small traders and FBR. Traders are an integral and useful part of the economy. As a regulator of tax, we will accept all suggestions and recommendations placed by traders, which are in the interest of economy and the people of Pakistan.
