KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Petrol pumps’ owners on Tuesday shut down their filling facilities to protest an increase in income tax by the provincial Income Tax Department.
But officials rejected their complaints, saying the pump owners had been refusing to pay taxes for the last few years to the revenue department.
Haji Masoud Akhunzada, the Petrol Pumps Owners Union (PPOU) head, told Pajhwok Afghan News since last night as many as 137 stations had been closed to protest the tax hike.
He said the owners could not pay the increased income tax and that . . .
