ISLAMABAD: Minister for Finance Senator Ishaq Dar Friday said that it had been proposed in budget for 2015-16 that the companies, dealing with Halal, be allowed tax exemption from Income Tax for four years from the date of set-up.
He said the companies which set up `Halal’ meat production plants and obtain `Halal’ certification by 31st December 2016, would be given exemption.
