IMPORT HYBRID CAR WITHOUT CUSTOMS DUTY
Pakistani expatriates around the world may soon be allowed to import one hybrid car to Pakistan — tax free — upon presenting proof of remitting $100,000 using legal banking channels within two years.
The move will not only benefit the overseas Pakistanis but will also help improve foreign exchange reserves in the country, currently facing acute financial crisis.
However, the initiative is still a proposal, prepared by the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resources Development (MOPHRD).
