You are fond of discussing matters for which you don't have a clue what they mean...port expenses are charged by KPT (Karachi Port Trust) and not federal government,,,while custom duty, sales tax, excise duty, and income tax are charged by federal govrnment...where did I suggest port charges should be given to federal government...port expenses are charged by KPT and should be the income of city government of Karachi...however any suggestion to give federal levies to city government is unresonable...and can not be claimed by city government...the only thing city government can argue is if the port charges sufficient and reasonable or not...
