What changed in the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 on 2023-06-30

Between the version published 2019-12-31 and the one published 2023-06-30, 41 sections appeared for the first time and 28 no longer appear.

Reading this in plain terms: a section appearing for the first time usually means Parliament inserted a new provision. A section disappearing usually means it was omitted. Neither is certain from the text alone, so treat this as a guide to what to check rather than as proof.
