ACCA seminar: Experts to discuss budget proposals

KARACHI: In order to facilitate industry, government and financial expert engagement and perspective sharing on the upcoming federal budget, ACCA Pakistan is organising a pre-budget seminar here on May 4. In a press release, ACCA says its budget proposals for 2012-13 support fair taxation policies and recommend enterprise growth, social equality, environment conversion and promoting savings and investments. Strong fiscal policies backed by long-term stability are the need of the hour for a sustainable economic growth, it says, adding fiscal measures with long-term strategy are required to create opportunities for investment, industrialisation and employment generation. Power shortages and inflation are the two key challenges faced by the economy and improved tax collection system can lead to growth of business in the country, it points out.
