frightened from such tax collectingagencies and are therefore reluctant topay their taxes.

ways to spread tax awareness amongstthe general public and one of our mostsuccessful measures has been the In-ternship Programme, as these young-sters represent the future of the countryand are Punjab Revenue Authority’s“Tax Ambassadors”.

Analyst Ahsan Mehanti atArif Habib Corp said pressureremained in scrips across theboard on weak earnings out-look amid surge in localpower tariff and higher gastariff. “Banking stocks out-performed on higher bankingspreads,” he said.

Investor concerns overfalling FX reserves data, weakglobal crude oil prices, dismaldata on oil and cement salesfor Aug'18, unresolved circu-lar debt crises and foreign out-flows played a catalyst role inbearish close, he said.

The Pakistan Stock Ex-change's (PSX) benchmarkKSE 100-share Index closedlower 411.62 points or 1.0percent to 40,854.77 pointsagainst 41,266.39 pointsrecorded in the last session.The highest index of the dayremained at 41,416.69 pointswhile the lowest level of theday was recorded at40,794.09 points.

120.86 million shares from159.67 million shares. Trad-ing value decreased to Rs4.61billion from Rs6.94 billionwhile market capital narrowedto Rs8.48 trillion from 8.58trillion. Out of 378 companies’active in the session, only 80closed in green, 283 in redwhile 15 remained unchanged.

One analyst said the bear-ish sentiment made its mark

on the last day of the week aswell. Investors were foundconcerned about belt tighten-ing by the govt amidst macro-economic weakness, whichmade institutional investorssell positions in blue chips.

Besides selling in E&Pscrips (OGDC, PPL and POL),heavy selling was observed inCement and Fertilizer sectors.

OGDC’s result failed togain investors’ interest andnot even PPL’s discoverycould steer investors towardsit. Engro Polymer and Chem-icals Limited’s (EPCL) noti-fication about setting upHydrogen Peroxide project,which is likely to rival De-scon Oxychem Limited,caused selling in DOL and

buying activity in EPCL.Highest increase was

recorded in shares of PhilipMorris Pak XD, which roseRs118 to Rs3,598 per share,followed by Shield Corp thatincreased Rs11.85 toRs248.85 per share. Major de-cline was noted in shares ofColgate Palmolive XDXB,which fell Rs89 to Rs2,550per share, followed by Pak To-

BEIJING: China said on Friday it will in-crease export tax rebates for 397 items rang-ing from some steel products to electronicones, in a bid to boost prospects for shipmentsamid its trade war with the United States.

The move comes as word is widely awaitedon whether US President Donald Trump willimpose tariffs on another $200 billion of im-ports from China. A public consultation periodin Washington on the proposal has just ended.

To date, the US has imposed tariffs on $50billion of Chinese products, and Beijing hasreciprocated. On Friday, China’s finance min-istry said that effective Sept. 15, tax rebaterates for light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lithium

batteries, multi-component semiconductors,machinery products, books and newspaperswill be increased to 16 percent.

The ministry, in a statement on its website,did not say what the current rebate levels areon those products. China assesses a 16 percentvalue-added tax on some exports, so a rebateof 16 percent will mean exporters get back thefull amount paid.

“This is in effect to negate the impact fromUS tariffs,” said Mei Xinyu, a researcher at athink tank affiliated with the Commerce Min-istry. For some other products, the rebate willbe increased but not to 16 percent. Accordingto the statement. —Reuters
