NBR takes steps to facilitate tax return filing by Bangladeshis abroad

Business Desk :

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has taken steps to facilitate tax return filing by Bangladeshis staying abroad.
In a statement on Tuesday, the tax authority said it has introduced a special registration system for Bangladeshi taxpayers abroad so they can submit e-returns by receiving one-time passwords (OTP) through their email instead of mobile phones.

The NBR said taxpayers who have signed up for electronic tax return filing through biometrically registered phones but are currently abroad-and therefore cannot reset their passwords using mobile OTP-can now complete verification through their email.

To do so, taxpayers abroad are required to apply to the NBR from their own email address by providing copies of their passport, national identity card, and visa page, along with their foreign address, overseas phone number, and the date of their last departure from Bangladesh. The application must be sent to [email protected] for email verification.
