PESHAWAR: The Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has called for retaining the status of tax-free zone for the newly merged tribal areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
In a statement issued here on Friday, SCCI President Sherbaz Bilour said the exemption from taxes for the newly merged tribal districts was essential for economic prosperity and development of the entire province as well as bringing improvement in the economy.
He noted that the collection of taxes from these districts is contrary to the government’s commitment towards the uplift of the erstwhile Fata region, which had adversely suffered in prolonged terrorism and extremism.
