The Flour Mills Association has warned that if the annual turnover tax and sales tax on bran are not withdrawn, the price of flour will be increased by Rs 5 per kg from July 1.

Badruddin Kakar, central chairman of Pakistan Flour Mills Association, and Asim Raza, provincial chairman, said in a press conference that if the new taxes imposed in the budget were not withdrawn, flour would become more expensive from July 1.

Flour mill owners said that transporting wheat from one district to another was not smuggling so such restrictions should be lifted.

Flour Mills leaders said that if the policies were not corrected, 2 million tonnes of wheat would have to be imported.
