ISLAMABAD:
The government is considering giving a three to six months extension in Prime Minister Imran Khan’s tax amnesty scheme for the construction sector.
The scheme is going to expire on Thursday. The deliberations to extend the scheme have been taking place for quite some time as so far over 350 projects having an estimated cost of Rs140 billion are registered under the scheme.
The PM’s Office has directed the Federal Board of Revenue to prepare draft of a presidential ordinance to further extend the tax amnesty scheme, sources told The Express Tribune.
