Only Rs71 billion tax imposed on imported items used by elite class: Fawad 

Islamabad, December 31, 2021 (PPI-OT):Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain says the government, in the supplementary finance bill-2021, has taxed the rich people while tax refund has been given on items used by the common man.

In a tweet, he said in the 350 billion rupees tax, the actual tax is 71 billion rupees which has been imposed on imported goods used by the elite class. Responding to PML-N leader Shahbaz Sharif’s query about tax refund, the minister said it is meant to promote the ‘documented economy’ instead of ‘black economy.
