ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan said E-commerce is an important government step under premier Imran Khan’s vision to ensure ease of doing business and encouraging young people and small businesses.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, she said E-commerce policy will harmonize Pakistan’s economy with contemporary modern needs and boost business activity in the country.
Awan said digitizing financial matters will ensure the protection of investment and consumer rights. To avoid double taxation simple single tax return form will be introduced and the logistic sector will be transferred to E-commerce to make it efficient and effective, the special assistant added.
