The National Board of Revenue (NBR) will start pre-budget discussion with trade bodies and other stakeholders from April 3.
The NBR will discuss issues relating to customs and tax with representatives of 21 sectors as part of its preparation for national budget for fiscal year 2018-19 (FY19).
Chief budget coordinator of NBR Mohammad Lutfar Rahman said the list of trade bodies and stakeholders for the talks will be finalised soon, reports BSS.
NBR chairman Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan will chair the pre-budget talks to be held at the NBR headquarters at Segunbagicha area of Dhaka.
Senior information officer of NBR Syed A Munam said NBR will review all proposals and suggestions of the trade bodies and the stakeholders and send to the finance ministry for taking into consideration for budget preparation.
Earlier on March 18, the NBR sought proposals from individuals, trade bodies, organisations and establishments to make its revenue mobilisation policy more effective for FY19.
The revenue authorities requested the organisations concerned to submit their proposals in written to the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI).
It also requested the chambers and associations to send a softcopy of their proposals to the NBR's email ([email protected]).
The establishments, organisations and offices which are not members of any chamber or association can send their budget proposals to the NBR through this email.
