The FPCCI pre-budget proposals are being prepared by the FPCCI Advisory Council under the Chairmanship of Syed Mazhar Ali Nasir, Sr. Vice President, FPCCI. The proposals argued that a huge amount of tax arrears is lying pending for liquidation and payment to both the stakeholders – Taxpayers and FBR – due to inordinate delay in completion of litigation process. It added that the active and prominent members be selected from legal fraternity, public, FBR and private sectors (FPCCI & Chambers) and their Proper rules may be framed for formation of the Committee, scope of work, conduction of ADRC proceedings, stay of matter/demand, disposal of application by the ADRC Committee, retention of record, remuneration for members of ADRC etc.
