Diploma Course in Tax Management (DTM) has been introduced at Banking and Insurance Department of Dhaka University (DU) on Wednesday in cooperation with Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Bangladesh.
Vice-Chancellor Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique inaugurated the course as the chief guest at a function at Nabab Nawab Ali Chowdhury Senate Bhaban.
Dean of Business Studies Faculty Prof Shibli Rubayat-Ul-Islam presided over the function while Regional Director of ACCA Stuart Dunlop, Member of NBR (National Board of Revenue) Md Abdur Razzak and Country Representative of ACCA, Bangladesh Mahua Rashid addressed it as the special guests.
Prof Arefin said tax is part of the social contact of government. “A good taxation policy sustains a society not only by serving its functional needs of living but also by smoothing the indecent lumpiness of wealth possession between segments of the society,” he mentioned.
He urged the diploma students to act as social ambassadors to create tax awareness among the people.
He also hoped that this diploma program could help harness the tax culture among the people and the organizations that are required to pay proper taxes.
