Pakistan, June 3 -- Mian Ahmed Hassan, Chairman of the Pakistan Steel Melters Association, has drawn the attention of the FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) and the budget authorities towards all unregistered scrap dealers and iron long bar (Sariya) sellers who have not paid a single rupee in tax for decades, and the entire burden of their tax is being forcibly borne by the industry itself.
