Following the implementation of this new tax regime, there is an unequivocal impact on the prices of our tractors.
Moreover, the cost of production has also increased, due to which AGTL is revising the prices of its tractors,” Al-Ghazi Tractors Limited (AGTL) stated in a notice to all dealers on Monday.
