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.
