Cabinet sends back draft of tariff commission act for scrutiny

The Cabinet on Monday constituted a committee, headed by Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), asking to further scrutinise the draft of the proposed Bangladesh Tariff Commission (Amendment) Act, 2018.

The decision was taken in the weekly meeting of the cabinet held at PMO with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair.

Ministry of commerce placed the draft in the weekly cabinet meeting for approval, but the cabinet after threadbare discussion returned it back with proposal for further revision, Cabinet Secretary Md. Shafiul Alam said, reports BSS.

The six-member committee will be comprised of the secretaries of finance, commerce and industries ministries, chairman of National Board of Revenue (NBR) and chairman of the Bangladesh Tariff Commission, who will also act as the secretary of the committee, Shafiul Alam said.
