Business leaders from across the county urged the government to revise increase in taxes proposed in the federal budget 2014-15 to save their businesses from closure and the national economy from further slowdown.
In a post-budget conference organised by the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) here on Saturday, the business leaders said the hike in taxes would add to the difficulties faced by entrepreneurs and raise inflation.
They said the government should facilitate the growth of businesses which would automatically generate more tax revenue, create more jobs and increase exports of the country.
