I-BTMA icele ukuba kususwe i-7.5% ye-VAT kwi-RMG yenkunkumaamalaphukunye ne-15% ye-VAT kwiifayibha ezisetyenzisiweyo. Ikwafuna ukuba izinga lerhafu yenkampani kwishishini lempahla lihlale lingatshintshi kude kube ngu-2030.

UMohammad Ali Khokon, umongameli weBangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA), ufune ukuba izinga lerhafu yenkampani ekhoyo ngokuishishini leempahla zelaphuzigcinwe.

Uthe xa kujongwa ukubaluleka kwengeniso yokuthumela ngaphandle, izinga lerhafu elivela kumthombo osebenzayo kwiimpahla ezithunyelwa ngaphandle ezivela kushishino lwempahla zelaphu neleempahla kufuneka lincitshiswe liye kwi-0.50% ukusuka kwi-1% yangaphambili. Izinga lerhafu kufuneka lihlale lisebenza kwiminyaka emi-5 ezayo. Ngenxa yokuba ishishini lempahla zelaphu neleempahla ngoku lijongene neengxaki ezininzi, kubandakanya ingxaki yedola, ukunikezelwa kwepetroli okungafikeleli kwinqanaba elifanelekileyo, kunye nokunyuka okungaqhelekanga kwamazinga enzala.
Uthethe ngezi zinto kwingxelo ebhaliweyo ekhutshwe kwinkomfa yabezindaba ebibanjwe yi-GMEA kunye ne-GMEA malunga nesiphakamiso sohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukazwelonke lonyaka-mali ka-2024-25 ngoMgqibelo (nge-8 kaJuni).

UMongameli we-GMEA uKhokon uthe i-GMEA yintlangano yeshishini eliphambili lempahla zelaphu. Sisebenza ekuhlanganiseni urhwebo lokuthumela impahla esele yenziwe kwamanye amazwe, sihlukanise iimveliso, sihlole iimarike ezintsha kwaye siphuhlise ishishini lempahla zelaphu. Iifektri zokusonta, ukuluka kunye nokudaya kunye nokugqiba impahla ze-GMEA nazo zenza igalelo elikhulu ngokubonelelaintambo kunye nelaphukwishishini leempahla ezenziwe sele zilungile kweli lizwe.

Uthe sihleli neenkokheli zemibutho emithathu yeshishini lempahla zelaphu. Sikholelwa ukuba ukuze kwandiswe urhwebo lokuthumela ngaphandle lwelizwe luye kwi-100 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi, kufuneka kuthathwe amanyathelo athile kwishishini lempahla zelaphu. Njengoko nisazi, ukuqokelelwa kwenkunkuma yempahla (jhut) kuxhomekeke kwi-7.5% ye-VAT kwaye ukuhanjiswa kwefayibha eveliswa kuyo kuxhomekeke kwi-15% ye-VAT.
Uthe, ngokwezibalo zethu, i-1.2 yeebhiliyoni zeekhilogram zomsonto zingaveliswa minyaka le kule ndlu. Yiyo loo nto ndifuna ngamandla ukuba i-VAT isuswe kwishishini.

Ethetha kwinkomfa yabezindaba, usihlalo we-BTMA ukwakhuthaze ukuba kususwe i-5% ye-VAT kwiifayibha ezenziwe ngumntu, i-5% yerhafu ekhawulezileyo kwiifayibha ezinyibilikayo kunye nokurhoxiswa kwe-5% yerhafu yengeniso ekhawulezileyo kunye nokuphathwa kwezikhenkcezisi njengezixhobo ezinkulu kunye nokubonelela nge-1% yesibonelelo sokungenisa njengangaphambili.

Ukwafune ukuba izinto ezisetyenziswa kumaqonga okurhweba nge-elektroniki kwiifektri zelaphu zingahlawuliswa rhafu kwaye kususwe isohlwayo se-200% ukuya kwi-400% kwikhowudi ye-HS engalunganga yeemveliso ezingenisiweyo.
