The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the Afghanistan Revenue Department (ARD) will hold detailed negotiations on the Double Taxation Agreement on December 28-30 at the FBR Headquarters, as a four-member delegation of the latter is on an important visit to FBR for the second round of discussions.
The Afghan delegation is headed by Revenue Audit Director ARD Esmatullah Salimi and comprises Technical Deputy Director-General ARD Abdul Wali Noori, Legal Services Director ARD Nida Mohammad Seddiqi, and Advisor to Ministry of Finance Najeebullah Ahmadzai.

The proposed DTA between the two neighboring countries will further foster not only the already existing economic and trade relations but will also significantly contribute to the revenue generations for both countries.
