NBR boss orders action against TIN holders

News Desk :

Chairman of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) Md Abdur Rahman Khan on Monday directed income tax officials to take action against those who hold Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) but do not file income tax returns, as well as those who submit returns without paying the applicable taxes.

He said there are 72 lakh taxpayers in the country who do not file income tax returns despite having TINs and about 30 lakh taxpayers who do not pay income tax despite filing returns.

“In order to increase collection, income tax will have to be collected from these 1 crore taxpayers according to their ability. For the fiscal year 2025-26, these 1 crore taxpayers should be the priority of income tax officers,” he said while holding a revenue review meeting at the Revenue Building in the capital, reports UNB.

Members of the Income Tax Department, Commissioners/Directors General in Dhaka, First and Second Secretaries (Income Tax Department) participated in the meeting and officers of the Income Tax Department outside Dhaka joined through the Zoom platform.
