‘IT exemptions for SEZs preserved by PM’ National March 13, 2021 ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Revenues Dr. Waqar Masood said on Friday that the government preserved the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) from the proposed withdrawal of income tax exemptions in order to protect investments, especially in the context of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). “Prime Minister Imran Khan himself preserved exemptions for SEZs, especially for CPEC, as the top guns who are promoting investment argued that if the government breached its commitment to providing tax exemptions on SEZs, it would hurt the investors’ confidence,” the SAPM, Dr. Waqar Masood, said in an interview with The News here at his office on Friday.
