NBR chairman urges Finance Adviser to reduce budget size

Chairman of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) Md Abdur Rahman Khan on Monday requested the Finance Adviser to reduce the budget size and give some relaxation to the mass people.
“I have requested (Finance Adviser), sir please cut short the budget size and give some relief to people,” he said while speaking at the pre-budget meeting with Economic Reports Forum (ERF) held at Revenue Building.
He also said Bangladesh next budget would be a business-friendly beautiful one. “We might lose some revenue due to this.”
But, the NBR chairman said that taxpayers who were previously paying a reduced rate would have to pay the regular rate, more or less, from the next fiscal year. “We will propose it to the policymakers, it would bring good for everyone,” he added.
Abdur Rahman Khan said that the number of quality taxpayers is very negligible in the country. “We had taken aggressive policy to increase the tax collection,” he said.
