The ‘National Income Tax Day-2019’ will be observed today across the country aiming to create awareness among the people for payment of income tax regularly.
The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has chalked out different programmes to observe the day with the slogan “We all will pay tax, the country will be self-reliant (Sobai Mile Dibo Kor, Desh Hobe Swanirvor)”.
The theme of this year’s tax day is ‘Ensuring a taxpayer-friendly environment by providing transparent and modern tax services’, reports BSS.
President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday issued separate messages on the occasion, wishing success of the day.
In their messages, the President and the Prime Minister greeted all officials and employees of the NBR and tax-paying individuals and companies marking the income tax day.
President M Abdul Hamid in his message said, “The income tax has great importance as one of the major sources of internal resource collection. Income tax is considered as the key source of revenue earning in all developed countries across the world”.
Bangladesh is moving forward to turn into a developed country through implementing the Vision-2021 and Vision-2041, he said, adding there is no alternative to the collection of domestic resources for implementing the Vision-2041.
“So, it is essential to increase the number of taxpayers and revenue collection from the income tax sector,” the President said and hoped that the NBR will take more effective steps in this regard.
