MULTAN: The Pakistan Oil Mills Association (POMA) on Tuesday pressed the government to take back newly imposed 5 percent tax on cottonseed cake.
POMA Chairman Khalifa Riaz Ahmad along with Vice Chairman Ejaz Hussain Naqvi said this while addressing the association members. He said that new taxes would increase the production cost of oil, adding that it was not fair to slap more taxes on the oil mills.
They warned the government that if their demands for the removal of the tax will not be addressed then they will shut down their oil Mills and that will not be beneficial for government.
He demanded that the government withdraw the tax to provide relief to the consumers.
