PESHAWAR: The National Accountability Bureau (KP) has initiated a probe into a mega sugar export scandal in which sugar mill owners exported less sugar from their allotted quota to Afghanistan and sold it in Pakistan, causing huge loss to the national exchequer. Sugar mill owners and exporters illegally sold sugar in Pakistan and made huge profits due to tax exemptions.
According to sources, sugar exporters allegedly had claimed waiver of sales and income tax on the entire allocated export quota of sugar on the basis of the forged and fake documents with the connivance of customs officials.
