FBR Going to Implement new Refund Policy to consumption based refund policy rather than an input based In Textile Sector |
Textile industry of the country has raised the red flag on new change unfolding that the refund system has been moved to a monthly sales tax return on input based system. This system is just unacceptable, as it will erase out the liquidity for the industry amounting to Rs300 billion as the same amount to remain stuck with the government all the time. And if the new system is allowed to continue, the industry will be destroyed because of the non-availability of the liquidity. This has been communicated by APTMA in its letter written on Monday (October 17, 2019) to Mr Razzak Dawood, Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce, Textile, Industry & Production and Investment. APTMA wants his intervention for elimination of the new change in tax refund mechanism as consumption based refund policy is detrimental for the industry. Adviser to APTMA, Shahid Sattar told The News that the new change in the refund system will ensure the liquidity amounting to Rs300 billion will continue to be with the government all the time as under new system, refunds claims will be submitted only when the export of the textile products is taken place. This is to deprive the industry of liquidity of Rs300 billion all the time as the industry will have nothing to spend on industrial activities. This will ruin the industry. APTMA letter written to adviser to prime minister also available with The News says that the refund system has been moved to a consumption based refund policy ...
