| [GEO.TV] Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has yet to decide on withholding tax as per the Islamic law, its chief Allama Dr Muhammad Raghib Hussain Naeemi said on Wednesday. His clarification came shortly after a press release by the CII declared withholding tax on money transfers and withdrawals to be against Sharia (Islamic law). Talking to Geo News, the CII chairman said the note-taking staff misunderstood that withholding tax had been declared un-Islamic. He said that the CII would discuss matters related to the withholding tax in its next meeting. ''Several members of the council were against the withholding tax,'' Dr Naeemi added. He said: ''They left the meeting when food was served and the staff thought that withholding tax was declared against Sharia.'' ''Regarding today's meeting of the CII, there was an impression that the council had formed a final opinion on the withholding tax, whereas in fact, a few members had an initial discussion on it, in which the members had different opinions. The members said that they would consult experts on this in the next meeting,'' read a clarification issued by the CII. |
