The National Board of Revenue (NBR) yesterday launched a four-day progra-mme to attract new taxpayers in Chittagong.
NBR Chairman Nasiruddin Ahmed inaugurated the campaign at three zones of the income tax circle of Chittagong.
On the first day of the programme, NBR collected about Tk 4.12 lakh from 211 new income taxpayers from the three spots.
The tax authorities are trying to increase the number of taxpayers, said Tax Commissioner Ramendro Chandra Boshak.
Any citizen can get his tax identification number from the three spots -- Akhter-Uz-Zaman Centre in Agrabad, Dhonialapara and Terri Bazar -- by spot assessment.
