Flat owners to be brought under tax net: NBR chief
DHAKA, Oct 16, 2018 (BSS) – National Board of Revenue (NBR) chairman Md
Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan today said surveys will be carried out in the
country’s all city corporations soon to bring the flat owners of the areas
under tax net.
The NBR will make mandatory of the submission of tax return for the
candidates of parliamentary and local government elections after identifying
their electric Taxpayer Identification Numbers (e-TINs), the NBR chief said
while a discussion in the capital.
The discussion on ‘tax survey, tax net extension and encouraging tax
payers’ was arranged at Mayor Mohammad Hanif Auditorium of Nagar Bhaban.
Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) mayor Mohammad Sayeed Khokon
addressed the discussion as the chief guest with NBR commissioner (central
survey zone) Md Asaduzzaman in the chair.
Noting that the number of tax registration will be double within next
year, Mosharraf said the NBR has taken a plan to make the return submission
rate double during the period.
The BNR chairman said the people who participate in elections are
eligible for tax and they can now take part in the polls only by submitting
their e-TINs.
“But, tax return certificate will be made mandatory for the candidates in
the future because it is quite impossible to assess their wealth accurately
without submission of tax return,” he said.

its member (tax survey and inspection) Mohammad Golam Nabi and Bangladesh
Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) director Md Munir
