Peshawar: The Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) recently set up a facilitation desk for providing information to the business community with regard to the Assets Declaration (amnesty) Scheme, a news source reported.
Regional Tax Office (RTO) Commissioner Qaiser Iqbal established the facility on the request of local businessmen and traders. Previously, the SCCI had asked the commissioner to provide guidelines about the amnesty scheme.
The initiative aims to create awareness among the people about the new Assets Declaration Scheme, which was announced by the federal government in May.
The Department of Inland Revenue has appointed superintendent Shahidullah Jan as head of the facilitation desk. Jan has been tasked with assisting people with regard to the amnesty scheme.
