The FBR has announced certain tax exemptions for those taxpayers who want to make new investments in Pakistan. The taxpayers can avail the benefits if they start a setup on land which has not been previously utilized for any commercial, industrial, and manufacturing activity. The FBR also allowed profits and gains on the income tax of a company from a greenfield industrial undertaking for a period of five years incorporated on and after July 2019.

In addition, the government had also given amnesty by not asking about the sources of income. The FBR had also given sales tax exemptions on importing machinery as well as furniture.
