Tractor Manufacturers Will Get Subsidy on Sales Tax

The Federal Board of Revenue FBR now gives relaxation to the tractor manufacturers in the country. Reportedly FBR decided to give a subsidy adjustment on sales tax for the local tractor manufacturers from September 28, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
Recently, for the adjustment of subsidy on sales tax, FBR has released the Sales Tax Special Procedure, Locally Manufactured Tractors Rules, 2020.
The subsidy by FBR is given to the tractor manufactures on local basis like Al-Ghazi Tractors Limited, Orient Tractors Pvt. Limited specified manufacturers and M/s Millat Tractors Limited.
According to the rules set by the FBR for this special subsidy, Ministry of National Food Security & Research will distribute the amount of the subsidy and will ensure the limit of the subsidy to each manufacturer that is 1.5 billion Rupees.

The tractor manufacturers will sale their subsidized tractor to the farmers and growers only. They will have to get authentic proof of the landholding like Pass Book and the copy of the record of rights of agricultural land duly verified from Provincial Land Revenue Authorities without charging any amount.
