Minister Rijal asks local levels to remove double taxation



BARA: Minister for Industry, Commerce and Supply, Ramesh Rijal, has urged the local levels of Bara and Parsa districts to scrap tax imposed on raw materials in the name of scrap tax.

Minister Rijal warned that the federal government would take necessary steps if the local levels do not remove the scrap tax.

He mentioned that although industrialists and entrepreneurs pay income tax from their income, the local levels collect double tax even by levying an integrated property tax, urging the local levels to withdraw the decision to impose the double tax.

Minister Rijal shared, “The government has set a plan to run ruined industries with partnership of private sector and attracting entrepreneurs at special economic zone by providing the land on rent in an affordable price.”

He further said that the land could be provided free of cost to establish export-oriented industries.
