Earlier in an appeal publicized in the print media by All Pakistan Sugar Dealers/Wholesalers Association, it has been agitated that contrary to what was agreed by the Association with the Chairman FBR, withholding tax at the rate of 2.5% and minimum tax at the rate of 0.3% has been imposed upon the sugar dealers and wholesalers through the Finance Act, 2019. The contents of the said appeal are not correct and are strongly denied. Rates have been fixed at 0.25% as demanded by the All Pakistan Sugar Dealers/Wholesalers Association.
