KARACHI: Pakistan Stock Broker Association ne during IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) shares ki tax treatment ke liye jo Proposal diya tha, woh Govt of Pakistan ne Finance Act ke through add kar liya hai. Iss ke result mai, Section 37 ke according normal tax companies ke shares par nahi lagega jo IPO/listing process ke dauran use kiye jaate hain. NCCPL ko necessary information milne ke bad, in shares ko section 37A of the IT Ordinance 2001 ke according tax kia jaega.
Ye clarification particularly taur par important hai kyunki mini budget ne significant ambiguity create kar diye the. Lekin hamari security definition mai jo change ki gai thi, woh include nahi ho saka aur hum is par kaam kar rahe hain.
PSBA ne apni statement me yeh bhi bataya kay 2013 se pehle acquire hue securities par bhi 0% tax lagega, jo hamare members ko further relief aur support dega.
General Secretary PSBA Bilal Forooq Zardi ne kaha kay hum relevant stakeholders se engage reh kar stockbrokers ki community ke support ka intezar karenge.
