ISLAMABAD, Sep 24(ABC): The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Saturday “categorically denied” issuance of any Statutory Regulatory Order (SRO) that allows ex-military officers to import duty and tax-free bulletproof vehicles.
“FBR categorically denies reports appearing in some sections of media that it has issued an SRO allowing duty-free import of bulletproof vehicles,” the revenue board said in a brief statement.
The tax collection body added that the federal cabinet had allowed such a facility in 2019, however, no notification to this effect has been issued so far.
In a separate statement, PM’s aide Salman Sufi said that there is no question of allowing any duty-free imports to any official.
“Everyone shall pay their fair share of duty when importing any vehicle,” he tweeted.
