I karanga a BTMA kia tangohia te 7.5% GST mō te RMG parangā papangame te 15% GST mō ngā muka hangarua. I tono anō hoki kia kaua e rerekē te reiti taake umanga mō te umanga kakahu tae noa ki te tau 2030.

I tono a Mohammad Ali Khokon, te perehitini o te Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA), kia whakatōkia te reiti taake umanga o nāianei mōte umanga kakahu me te kakahukia mau tonu.

I mea ia, i runga i te hiranga o ngā whiwhinga kaweake, me whakaiti te reiti taake pūtake e pā ana ki ngā kaweake mai i te umanga kakahu me te kākahu ki te 0.50% mai i te 1%. Me mau tonu te reiti taake mō ngā tau e 5 e whai ake nei. Nā te mea he maha ngā raruraru e pā ana ki te umanga kakahu me te kākahu i tēnei wā, tae atu ki te raruraru tāra, te korenga o te tuku wahie e eke ki te taumata pai, me te pikinga rerekē o ngā reiti huamoni.
I kōrero ia mō ēnei mea i roto i tētahi kōrero tuhituhi i tukuna i tētahi huihuinga pāpāho tahi i tū i waenganui i a GMEA me GMEA mō te tono tahua ā-motu mō te tau pūtea 2024-25 i te Rāhoroi (8 o Hune).

I kī te Perehitini o GMEA, a Khokon, he whakahaere te GMEA mō te umanga kakahu matua. Kei te mahi mātou ki te whakakotahi i te hokohoko kaweake o ngā kākahu kua oti te hanga, te whakanui i ngā hua, te tūhura i ngā mākete hou me te whakawhanake i te umanga kakahu me te kakahu. He nui hoki te takoha a ngā wheketere miro, whatu me te tae me te whakaoti o GMEA mā te tukumiro me te papangaki te umanga kakahu kua oti te hanga o te motu.

I mea ia i noho tahi mātou me ngā kaiārahi o ngā rōpū e toru o te umanga kakahu me te raranga. E whakapono ana mātou, kia piki ake ai te hokohoko kaweake o te whenua ki te $100 piriona, me mahi ētahi mahi i roto i te umanga kakahu me te raranga. E mōhio ana koutou, ko te kohikohinga o ngā para kakahu (jhut) e pāngia ana e te 7.5% GST, ā, ko te tuku o te muka i hangaia mai i reira e pāngia ana e te 15% GST.
I mea ia, e ai ki ā mātou tataunga, e 1.2 piriona kirokaramu o te miro ka taea te whakaputa i ia tau mai i tēnei whare hanga miro. Koia ahau i tino tono ai kia tangohia te GST mai i te umanga.

I tana whaikōrero ki te huihuinga pāpāho, i akiaki hoki te heamana o te BTMA kia tangohia te 5% GST mō ngā muka hanga-tangata, te 5% taake mua mō ngā muka rewa me te whakawātea i te 5% taake moni whiwhi mua, me te whakamahi i ngā pouaka tio hei taputapu whakapaipai me te whakarato i te 1% whakaurunga kawemai pērā i mua.

I tono anō hoki ia kia kore he taake kawemai o ngā wāhanga e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā papaaho hokohoko hiko mō ngā mira kakahu, me te tango i te whiu 200% ki te 400% mō te hē o te waehere HS o ngā hua kawemai.
