Introducing Amico’s new product in the coming days / Continuation of VAT problems in free zones

According to Eqtesadonline, Shahram Fedakar stated the following: “Since the beginning of the year, and as a result of imposing a 9% value added tax on the products of free trade zones, due to tax increase problems, we have been forced to reduce production in Amico, which In the first six months of the year, Aras Khodro Diesel Group had a negative impact.

Expressing his dissatisfaction with the continuation of this problem, he said: “Although some measures were taken to prevent the impact of the reduction in production on sales statistics and we tried to meet the needs of customers with the company’s inventory, but the fact is that the tax is 9% per year.” That the country needs a leap in domestic production was far from expected.

The CEO of Aras Khodro Diesel (Amico) stated: “Despite the problems that have arisen since the beginning of October, we resumed production, but the reality is that this can not be summed up in the long run with cost management, because in the end of this year statistics Will show your damage.

Fedakar said: “According to the previous negotiations, this problem was to be solved in the free zones within a period of six months, but unfortunately, with the expiration of this opportunity, nothing positive happened until the new management of the free zones promised companies to solve this problem.” Production in these areas is given.

“This is currently happening in most companies, including Amico, with different percentages, but the fact that it is less considered is this,” said the veteran director of the automotive industry, pointing out why it is difficult to meet the needs of commercial vehicles through internal parts. Domestically produced parts will certainly not become cheaper if they are not more expensive than imported parts, and this problem is rooted in the weakness of the supply of suitable raw materials, domestic and foreign sanctions and the lack of liquidity of component manufacturers, although Amico tries to inject liquidity. , Supply chain problems are minimized, but this situation continues and solving it requires more effective strategies.

In the end, the CEO of Aras Khodro Diesel (Amico) pointed out that Amico was not present in the discussion of renovating the worn-out fleet, noting: “In the discussion of renovation, due to the problems of providing facilities in this sector, we try not to enter this field.”
