Furthermore, participating shopkeepers will generally be exempt from audits, will not be required to install Point of Sale (POS) machines, and will not need to act as withholding agents.<br \/>\nTo further support the business community, Minister Kayani announced that, under the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, senior FBR officials will spend one week every month in Karachi to resolve commercial grievances on the spot and provide immediate facilitation to the business community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD Minister of State for Finance and Railways Bilal Azhar Kayani here on Saturday visited the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) for an extensive meeting with representatives of the trading and industrial community.
