FPCCI calls for equal tax on LNG

FPCCI calls for equal tax on LNG July 14, 2021 LAHORE: Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Senior Vice President Khawaja Shahzeb Akram on Tuesday called for equal taxation for imported and locally-produced liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to provide local industry a level playing field. “The FPCCI is not against the import of LPG. Still, it is against disparities in taxation,” he said while talking to the Pakistan LPG Marketers Association (PLPGMA) delegation at the FPCCI Regional Office Lahore. LPG imports should continue until local producers meet the demand in full. Local industry was under tremendous pressure against imported LPG the latter had lower taxation and no regulatory duty. Therefore, the LPG sector needed immediate intervention and assistance from the government, he added.

Rubber producers decry lack of funding by CBN

Mr Igbinosun said, “Our association has been blocked from accessing authorities at the apex bank. We have applied for funds to resuscitate the dying natural rubber subsector but we are continually told that rubber is not the priority of the federal government. This is painful and tiresome. “They said because rubber has a very long gestation period, therefore they have no funds to appropriate except for rice and other immediate economic crops that yield early enough.” Igbinosun explained that rubber was so useful across households and businesses. He said, “The health institutions depend on byproducts of rubber; our shoes, surgical gloves, mattresses, car tyres, name them, are all rubber. Yet they want to collectively kill the subsector. They should know that, ‘No Rubber, No Nation’.”
