Businessmen urged to pay income taxes regularly
National Board of Revenue (NBR) Chairman Mohammad Abdul Majid yesterday urged businessmen and affluent people of the society to pay income taxes regularly to make the country financially self reliant.
He was inaugurating a Tax Payers' Service Centre at Shegunbagicha in Dhaka.
“If taxes are paid regularly, the government will not need foreign funds on strict conditions. Only paying taxes regularly can bring us out of the burden of foreign loans and budget deficit,” the NBR chairman said.
Welcoming the new service centre, Majid said it would increase availability of tax-related services and reduce harassment.
The Income Tax office of Zone 7 opened the centre as part of the national campaign for motivating taxpayers to self-assess their income tax and submit the pertinent document properly.
