Some investors and miners say that the tax on mining has increased and they are no longer interested in investing in the mining sector.
Some investors in the country say that they are not interested in investing in the country's mines due to high royalties or "mining taxes".
These investors are concerned about the high level of royalties from the officials of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum, and say that with this situation, they will not be willing to invest in Afghanistan's mining sector.
"These bargains are not going well, and this is not in the interest of traders, miners and the country," said Ezatullah Haqmal, head of the Eastern District Miners' Union.
"Of course, the royalties have gone up in other cases, contrary to our expectations, and contrary to the expectations of the miners," said Rahimullah Samandar, executive director of the Chamber of Industries and Mines.He added For example, a white or shocking talc royalty, which is an industrial stone and has many cases, its royalty used to be six hundred afghanis per ton, now this royalty has gone up to two thousand afghanis. "And if we measure this, this reality has almost tripled."
Investors in the mining sector, meanwhile, are proposing to Taliban officials to hand over low-, medium- and large-quality gemstones to companies separately during the mining contract process.
