DHAKA, Sept 5, 2018 (BSS) – A weeklong ‘Income Tax Fair’ will begin in the city and

required documents with them only.
Like in the previous year, the income tax fair also will be held this year too,
coordinator of the fair and NBR Member (income tax administration) Ziauddin Mahmud said,
adding that the new thing in this year’s fair will be that the taxpayers will be taught
about tax by broadcasting audios and videos.
