President Zardari voices opposition to proposed agriculture tax
Few days back, President Zardari stressed the pivotal role of agriculture in Pakistan's future, lamenting the lack of understanding among some quarters regarding its significance, which could lead to misguided taxation policies.
Speaking at the Professor Waris Mir Memorial Seminar in Lahore, President Zardari highlighted that while agriculture remains crucial for the nation's development, there is a pressing need to ensure equitable taxation practices.
He underscored that any proposed taxes would primarily target large-scale farmers, exempting smaller farmers to alleviate their financial burden, in compliance with IMF stipulations.
President Zardari also addressed broader geopolitical challenges, cautioning against efforts by global forces to sow discord within the Muslim world.
