The National Board of Revenue (NBR) yesterday exempted taxes on fees paid by the government to foreign physicians treating individuals injured during the students' movement against discrimination in July of last year.
In a notification, the tax authority also waived taxes on hotel accommodation, food, and airfares for specialist doctors coming to the country to treat injured individuals, including students.
