The business community appreciated Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Board-in-Council for appointing two deputy chairmen and termed it as a decision in the right direction that would strengthen public-private sectors liaison. In a statement issued on Saturday, the former LCCI vice president Aftab Ahmad Vohra said the new Deputy Chairmen Shahid Rahim Sheikh and Malik Abdul Samad were not only experienced but also had an excellent track record that would help solve business community issues. Due to the ongoing economic scenario and pressing engagements of the FBR Chairman, it was very difficult to have a direct access to the body, he said. It is very wise on the part of the FBR to appoint two deputy chairmen to look after day-to-day affairs, he added.
