I-BTMA icele ukuthi kususwe i-VAT engu-7.5% ku-RMG elahliweizindwangukanye ne-VAT engu-15% kumafayibha asetshenziswe kabusha. Iphinde yafuna ukuthi izinga lentela yenkampani embonini yezindwangu lihlale lingashintshi kuze kube ngu-2030.

UMohammad Ali Khokon, umongameli weBangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA), ufuna ukuthi izinga lentela yenkampani elikhona manjeimboni yezindwangu nezingubokugcinwe.

Uthe uma kucatshangelwa ukubaluleka kwemali engenayo yokuthumela kwamanye amazwe, izinga lentela elisetshenziswa ekuthunyelweni kwamanye amazwe okuvela embonini yezindwangu nezingubo kufanele lehliswe libe ngu-0.50% kusukela ku-1% wangaphambilini. Izinga lentela kudingeka lihlale lisebenza iminyaka emi-5 ezayo. Ngoba imboni yezindwangu nezingubo okwamanje ibhekene nezinkinga eziningi, okuhlanganisa nenkinga yedola, ukunikezwa kukaphethiloli okungafinyeleli ezingeni elifanele, kanye nokwenyuka okungavamile kwamazinga enzalo.
Ukhulume ngalokhu esitatimendeni esibhaliwe esikhishwe engqungqutheleni yabezindaba ehlanganyelwe ebibanjwe yi-GMEA kanye ne-GMEA ngesiphakamiso sesabelomali sikazwelonke sonyaka wezimali ka-2024-25 ngoMgqibelo (Juni 8).

UMengameli we-GMEA uKhokon uthe i-GMEA iyinhlangano yemboni eyinhloko yezindwangu. Sisebenza ukuhlanganisa ukuhweba ngokuthunyelwa kwezingubo ezilungisiwe, ukusabalalisa imikhiqizo, ukuhlola izimakethe ezintsha nokuthuthukisa imboni yezindwangu nezembatho. Izimboni zokuphotha, ukuluka, ukudaya nokuqeda ze-GMEA nazo zinegalelo elikhulu ngokuhlinzekaintambo nendwanguembonini yezingubo esezilungisiwe yezwe.

Uthe sihleli nabaholi bezinhlangano ezintathu zemboni yezindwangu nezembatho. Sikholelwa ukuthi ukuze kwandiswe ukuhweba kwezwe ngokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kufike ku-$100 billion, kumele kuthathwe izinyathelo ezithile embonini yezindwangu nezembatho. Njengoba wazi, ukuqoqwa kwemfucuza yezingubo (jhut) kungaphansi kwe-VAT engu-7.5% kanti ukunikezwa kwefayibha ekhiqizwa kuyo kungaphansi kwe-VAT engu-15%.
Uthe, ngokwezibalo zethu, kungakhiqizwa uboya obuyizigidigidi eziyi-1.2 kg minyaka yonke kusukela kule ndlu. Yingakho ngifuna kakhulu ukuthi kususwe i-VAT embonini.

Ekhuluma engqungqutheleni yabezindaba, usihlalo we-BTMA uphinde wanxusa ukuthi kususwe i-VAT engu-5% kumafayibha enziwe ngabantu, intela kusengaphambili engu-5% kumafayibha ancibilikayo kanye nokukhishwa kwentela engenayo kusengaphambili engu-5% kanye nokuphatha amafriji njengemishini emikhulu kanye nokuhlinzeka ngesikhungo sokungenisa esingu-1% njengakuqala.

Uphinde wafuna ukuthi kungeniswe intela yezingxenye ezisetshenziswa ezinkundleni zokuhweba nge-elekthronikhi zemishini yokugaya izindwangu kanye nokususwa kwenhlawulo engu-200% kuya ku-400% ngekhodi ye-HS engalungile yemikhiqizo engenisiwe.
