National Board of Revenue (NBR) Chairman Abdur Rahman Khan announced that even if five taka is collected in excess as advance income tax, it will be refunded. He stated that a pilot program for automating the income tax refund process is currently underway. Once completed successfully, any excess tax paid will automatically be returned to taxpayers’ accounts. He also mentioned that an automatic refund system has already been introduced for VAT.
Speaking at a pre-budget discussion with various stakeholders on Wednesday, the NBR chairman said that while tax refunds are celebrated globally, Bangladesh previously lacked such a system. The new initiative aims to ensure that taxpayers who pay more in advance income tax than required will receive the excess amount back.
The government deducts advance income tax at source from individuals and institutions at varying rates. At the end of the year, if the deducted amount exceeds the actual tax liability, the excess will be refunded; if less, the remaining amount must be paid.
