DHAKA, Nov 11, 2018 (BSS) – A weeklong ‘Income Tax Fair’ will begin in the
city and other divisional headquarters across the country on Tuesday aiming
to help the taxpayers fill tax returns and facilitate other tax-related
works.
Finance Minister AMA Muhith will inaugurate the fair at the Officers’ Club
in the city, NBR Chairman M Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan told a press conference
at the NBR conference room here.
Like the previous years, he said, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) will
organise the fair, which will continue till November 19.
Mosharraf said the taxpayers will be able to file tax returns and do other
related tasks at the fair. Tax officials will help the taxpayers in this
regard while they (taxpayers) will have to bring the required documents only,
he added.
The NBR chairman said the new thing of this year’s fair is that the
taxpayers would be informed of tax services by airing audios and videos.
He said taxpayers can also ask the tax officials about tax related
quarries through tele-learning system.
“New taxpayers can collect e-TIN (electronic tax identification number) at
the fair while other taxpayers also can collect e-TIN through re-
registration,” he said.
The NBR chief said separate booths will be set up at the fair venues for
e-payment and freedom fighters, women, people with disabilities and elderly
taxpayers.
The fair will also be held in all districts and 32 upazilas. The duration
of district level fair will be four days while upazila level fair two days.
Besides, a daylong mobile fair will be held at 70 upazilas across the
country.
