Comments :

The Finance Bill, 2007 seeks to introduce two new concepts viz. (1) ‘Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund’ and (2) ‘Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund Management Company’. Both of these concepts will be defined as per their definitions given in the Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund Rules, 2007 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan.

This proviso is sought to be inserted to limit the quantum of tax credit available on contribution made to ‘Approved Employment Pension or Annuity Scheme’.
