The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has honoured 141 individuals, and organisations with tax cards and crests for their highest tax payment in the fiscal year 2020-21.

Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal handed over the cards to awardees at a gala event at the Officers' Club Dhaka in the capital. 

Apart from the 141 recipients at the national level, different tax zones across the country also recognised a total of 540 people and entities with the tax cards. Among them, Chattogram Taxes Zones awarded 42. 

"We all have some duties to the country. The people who have taxable income should ensure their contributions to the development of the country through paying taxes properly," the finance minister said, addressing the Officers' Club event, and urged the rich to pay the actual amount of their taxes.

The minister further said the country attained some landmark achievements in the last couple of years; it could raise GDP growth to 7.4%, increase capita income surpassing that of neighbouring India.

"Even in Covid-19 pandemic, the country performed well in terms of all economic parameters," he added.

Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FBCCI) President Md Jashim Uddin, and NBR Chairman Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem, among others, were present at the programme.

NBR chairman in his speech said, "All the developed countries collect the highest amount of revenue from direct tax but we cannot."

He, however, hoped that citizens would be encouraged to pay taxes as the government is implementing many megaprojects, including the Padma Bridge, which can improve people's quality of life. 

In reactions, the top taxpayers urged the government to utilise their money in a fair way, for the welfare of the country. They also thanked the Revenue Board for the honour.

Benefits of the tax cards

The tax card-holders will enjoy various privileges including getting bus, train, air, and ship tickets on a priority basis. 

Besides, they will get facilities at government hospitals, and different other places. 

Apart from the national level, different tax zones under the NBR have been providing the tax cards across the country since 2016.

Every year, the cards are handed over in tax fairs. As this year has no fair due to Covid restrictions, the awardees received their awards from tax zones concerned.
