Staff Reporter:
The Federation of Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), the apex organization of businessmen, has requested the National Board of Revenue (NBR) to extend the deadline for submission of income tax returns.
The federation in a letter to the NBR Chairman said that due to the late publication of income tax circu-lars in line with the new Income Tax Act 2023, the businessmen are not prepared to submit returns.
So, the deadline for filing returns need be extended until December 31 this year.
The letter said due to the current political situation and upcoming parliamentary elections, many taxpay-ers may be able to file income tax returns by November 30.
Some other business chambers have also requested the NBR to extend the tax return submission deadline.
The Dhaka Taxes Bar Association has demanded an extension of the return submission deadline by an-other two months.
