The National Board of Revenue has extended the time of tax exemption for six months for importing raw materials to produce sanitizer, N-95 and KN-95 masks, face shields, Covid test kits and personal protective equipment.
Imports of such products will have no import duty, regulatory duty, supplementary duty, value added tax, advance tax and advance income tax on them until 30 June.
The NBR issued a circular in October announcing tax relief on these products until 31 December, in the wake of a spread of the novel coronavirus in the country and exports of the items.
