|

|
The government has decided to reduce duty on steel products and aluminum in the
next federal budget 2004-05. The decision has been taken under the demand raised
by the concerned people and in view to promote construction activities in the
country, informed sources at the ministry of finance told Online. "The
existing 10% duty on steel products and aluminum would be reduced by five
percent in the new budget," sources maintained. The duty drawback on raw
material being used in preparation of steel products would also be reduced,
sources added. It is worth mentioning here that the construction industry had
remained under severe pressure due to huge increase in cement and iron prices.
Despite time and again complaints by the affected people, no reduction was made
in these prices. However, reduction in duty on steel and aluminum products would
pave the way for reduction in prices of construction material. |
