The government fell short of its revised revenue target by Tk 92,626 crore in FY 2024-25, collecting Tk 3,70,874 crore against the target of Tk 4,63,500 crore. Unrest within the National Board of Revenue (NBR) during May and June significantly disrupted collections, especially in customs and VAT sectors. Growth over the previous fiscal year was just 2.23%. The NBR cited large-scale tax evasion in the cigarette sector as a major reason for the loss and vowed recovery efforts.
