NBR organises tax camp in Dhaka

The tax zone-5 of the National Board of Revenue yesterday organised a camp to bring potential taxpayers under its net and encourage compliance.

The camp was organised at Khilgaon Taltola City Corporation market where taxmen assisted people to get electronically generated taxpayers identification number (e-TIN) and file income tax returns, according to a statement.

Thirty-one tax returns were submitted at the camp, which was inaugurated by Shaheen Akhter, tax commissioner for zone-5.

Taxmen issued 28 e-TINs and collected Tk 136,810 in tax on the spot. They provided tax-related advice to 159 individuals.

The NBR started holding camps all over the country from this month.

“We plan to organise more camps this year,” said Md Ashraful Islam, deputy commissioner for taxes of the zone.
