Speaking to media, Zahir Shah, President, Mardan Chamber of Commerce, said that tax breaks would benefit business people, create new opportunities for traders and industrialists, which would also reach the masses. The business community is the backbone of the country’s economy. The government should create a more friendly environment with traders. Tax exemptions in the recent 2021-22 budget were also a long-standing demand of traders and industrialists. Completed Tax refund on mobile calls, messages and internet data is a good move.
