巴基斯坦纺织机构寻求在预算中免税
在下月预算之前,巴基斯坦纺织厂协会(APTMA)已经呼吁为整个纺织价值链零点税率的税收制度。
巴基斯坦成衣制造商和出口商协会,手套制造商及出口商协会,地毯制造商和出口商协会以及巴基斯坦针织品制造商和出口商协会也为所有出口商要求零评级机制，尤其是整个纺织价值链。
在发送至财政部的2016-2017财政年度的预算提案中,APTMA敦促政府允许对进口原棉和皮棉的关税和销售税豁免，考虑当地的棉花产量的缺口情况。
它说,政府在过去的预算中对进口原棉和皮棉实施百分之五的营业税。另一方面,当地棉花仍然免征营业税。
APTMA说,该行业每年消耗大约1600万包,而巴基斯坦的棉花总产量约1300万包，主要是由于巴基斯坦进口的纺织行业约25%的消费要求,多数是长纤维和免污染棉花,但在该国是不可用的。
