Aiming to bring the house owners under tax net, National Board of Revenue (NBR) is mulling use of police database as it has detailed information of house owners and tenants.
The tax authority is considering such a move as the house owners are frequently dodging the tax hiding their property in many ways, said officials.
Despite different initiatives, a good number of house owners in the capital city and elsewhere in the country remained out of tax net resorting to malpractices, NBR officials said.
“The use of police database will not only ease the process of identifying the house owners but also help us bring them under tax net,” they added.
Police have developed the database comprising the information of house owners, tenants, flat owners, business entities and shop owners etc in Dhaka and some other big cities.
