IT is to some extent true that RGST is not a new tax rather a reformed form of General Sales Tax, which had already been in place for the last 20 years and the government is only trying to reform and extend its scope, but the positive aspect of these reforms still go wasted, as agri income will not come under tax net despite the claim of the government that all sectors, which were previously exempted from the GST, will now be included in the tax network.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/">>>>> More</a>Muhammad Irfanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13052606958414400747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621955061021917137.post-54642628895337276902010-11-27T08:52:00.000+00:002010-11-27T08:52:17.746+00:00Cotton Has Biggest Weekly Drop Since 2009 on China’s `Tough Love’ Policy<span id="date">Published on November 27, 2010 by <a href="http://www.agricorner.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by admin">admin</a> · No Comments</span> <a href="http://www.agricorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Bloomberg-Markets.png"><img alt="China Curbs Speculation in Agriculture Futures as Prices Surge to Records" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-534" height="400" src="http://www.agricorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Bloomberg-Markets.png" title="Bloomberg Markets" width="400" /></a><br />

Commodities tumbled across the board, part of a wider market selloff as worries grow that China will take additional actions to slow its surging economy.<br />
Data from China released Thursday showed inflation rising faster than anticipated, which could force China’s central bank to raise interest rates or take other steps to slow growth. Grains and metals had risen on the report Thursday but they backtracked Friday along with crude oil and equities markets. Cotton and sugar, which fell from multi-year highs earlier this week, saw additional declines.<a href="http://www.agricorner.com/commodities-retreat-on-worries-of-china-rate-hike/">>>></a>Muhammad Irfanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13052606958414400747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621955061021917137.post-1273206831629180652010-11-16T07:30:00.002+00:002010-11-16T07:30:38.399+00:00Bullish onion and red chilli markets<span id="date"><br />

WHILE Sindh’s new crops of onion and red chilli have started arriving in local markets, their prices are not coming down.<br />
The prices of vegetables including onions shot up after the floods, which damaged tens of thousands of acres under onion crop in the province.
