The promulgation of this Ordinance will fill a vacuum that has always existed since 2000 as a result of the absence of an appeal mechanism with regard to the imposition of anti-dumping duties by the NTC.

This will expedite the process of obtaining sales tax registration numbers and certificates and will lessen the time and cost of doing business in Pakistan, thereby further encouraging both domestic and foreign investment in Pakistan.
