Sri Lanka has withdrawn a massive increase in domestic tax on Pakistani citrus – a decision that is likely to give a shot to exports from Pakistan, Pakistan Commerce adviser said on Friday.
Adviser on Commerce to Prime Minister Razak Dawood said the Sri Lankan government took back the increase in cess on import of kinnows and mandarins from Pakistan. The cess was reverted to 30 Sri Lankan rupee per kilogram from Rs160/kg.
“This positive development will boost the confidence of Pakistani exporters as the citrus season has commenced and Sri Lanka is one of the leading markets for small mandarins produced in Pakistan,” Dawood said in a tweet post.
