APCMA Opposes Track and Trace System in Cement Industry

The All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers’ Association (APCMA) has been vocal about its opposition to the track and trace system being implemented in the cement industry. According to a spokesperson for the APCMA, the association has consistently communicated to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) that the system is not suitable for the industry and will not yield the intended outcomes.

The APCMA has emphasized that the track and trace system, which aims to monitor and regulate the production and distribution of cement, is not feasible within the industry. The association has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the system and its inability to deliver the desired results.

In response to the heavy investment required by cement manufacturers to implement the track and trace system, the APCMA has urged the government to provide tax relief to compensate for the financial burden. The association believes that tax relief would help alleviate the financial strain on the industry caused by the implementation of the system.

In conclusion, the APCMA continues to advocate for the interests of cement manufacturers in Pakistan by highlighting the challenges posed by the track and trace system. The association's call for tax relief underscores the financial impact of the system on the industry and seeks support from the government to address these concerns.
