Govt cancels marriage registration tax

Staff Reporter:
The tax imposed on marriage registration has been cancelled, Law Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul said yes-terday.
“Tax was imposed on marriage registration. The ministry has cancelled this illogical tax,” he said at a press conference on current affairs at the Bangladesh Secretariat.
Responding to a question from when the decision would take effect, the adviser said, “I have signed document in this regard yesterday. You can get married without tax.”
“The marriage registration form used to mention ‘married’ or ‘virgin’. This is a disrespectful word for a girl. We have replaced that word with unmarried,” he added.
The adviser said they have done many such small things. “I have plans to do many more things.”
