Chief adviser professor Muhammad Yunus today inspired the
countrymen to submit e-return and pay income tax online.
"Dear
countrymen...I would say two words (sentences) on income tax. The tax you pay
is the main driver of the country's economy but one has to face various hassles
to pay the tax to the government," he said in a video message released
from his press wing.
From
now on, the chief adviser said there is no need to stand in long queues at the
banks to pay income tax or go to tax offices to submit income tax return.
"Submit
income tax return staying at your home by paying the income tax. This measure
has been taken. Submitting e-return of income tax for all government officials
of Dhaka, Narayanganj and Gazipur cities, and officials and employees of all
scheduled banks, mobile phone operators and many multinational companies has
been made mandatory now," he said.
Prof Yunus also urged the rest of the eligible people of the
country to submit e-return and pay income tax online.
He,
as well, encouraged competition among organizations and firms in submitting
online e-return of their officials at zila and city levels for winning the
state awards.
The
chief adviser urged all to teach their relatives, neighbours and friends on how
they can submit their income tax online.
"I
request the youths to help the tax payers to this end. Preparation of becoming
future entrepreneurs can start from here. We are taking preparations to collect
all taxes online gradually," he said.
“I
wish, your experiences of submitting income tax return become smooth and
hassle-free from now on," he added.
