Former Hunza Chamber Presidents File Petition in Supreme Court Against Illegal Taxation in Gilgit-Baltistan

Islamabad, October 4, 2025:
The former Presidents of the Hunza Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HCCI), Mr. Doulat Karim and Mr. Muhammad Raziq, have filed a petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan challenging the imposition of federal taxes by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) in Gilgit-Baltistan.

The petition argues that, in accordance with the Constitution of Pakistan, United Nations resolutions, and several previous Supreme Court judgments, Gilgit-Baltistan is not a constitutional part of Pakistan. Therefore, the region qualifies as a non-tariff zone, and the enforcement of federal taxesโ€”such as Sales Tax, Income Tax, and Federal Excise Duty (FED) at Sost Dry Portโ€”is unconstitutional and without legal jurisdiction.

The case has been scheduled for hearing on October 8, 2025.
The current President of the Hunza Chamber of Commerce and Industry has commended the efforts of the former presidents for taking this important legal step, expressing hope that the petition will help secure lasting tax exemptions and economic relief for the people and businesses of Gilgit-Baltistan.

Official Statement

*Hunza Chamber of Commerce and Industry*

The Hunza Chamber of Commerce and Industry expresses its full solidarity with the ongoing DHARNA at SOST, organized by the Gilgit-Baltistan Supreme Council and the Traders of Gilgit-Baltistan.

In light of Hunzaโ€™s unique status as the immediate neighbor of China, and recognizing the historical agreements witnessed by the former Mir of Hunza, we assert the following:

1. Unlawful Taxation: We categorically endorse the constitutional demand of Gilgit-Baltistan's traders against the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for unlawfully imposing Custom Duty, Income Tax, and Sales Tax in the region.
2. *Constitutional Status:* Gilgit-Baltistan is constitutionally recognized as a non-tariff region, as affirmed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in 2019. The current tax impositions violate this established status.
3. *Demand for Mechanism:* We urge the development of a proper legal and administrative framework to prevent such violations in the future and safeguard the rights of traders.
4. *Commitment to Trade:* The Hunza Chamber of Commerce and Industry remains steadfast in its commitment to promote and facilitate bilateral trade between Hunza and China.

We stand united with the people and traders of Gilgit-Baltistan in their pursuit of constitutional rights and economic justice.
