According to TMA, restoring the regime would ease exporters’ liquidity pressures and reduce the accumulation of sales tax refunds. It would also help lower rising financial and administrative costs.
Exporters Seek Timely Refunds and Policy Support
TMA welcomed the FBR chairman’s response and appreciated the cooperation extended by Sindh Governor Nihal Hashmi.
The association expressed hope that the commitments made during the meeting would lead to practical measures.
It said timely payment of legitimate tax refunds and prompt resolution of tax-related complaints would help stabilise the export industry.
TMA added that stronger support for exporters could also boost foreign exchange earnings, create employment opportunities and contribute to national economic growth.
The meeting focused on improving coordination between tax authorities and exporters while addressing issues affecting Pakistan’s export competitiveness.
