The government has made it mandatory to deduct income tax at source from the monthly salaries of all eligible public officials and employees. A directive issued by the Office of the Comptroller General of Accounts (CGA) on November 10 states that, under the Income Tax Act 2023, male employees earning a basic salary of Tk 26,785 or more and female employees earning Tk 30,357 or more now exceed the tax-free threshold. Consequently, income tax must be deducted when processing salary bills. The CGA clarified that drawing officers will be responsible for ensuring accurate deductions under Treasury Rules SR 125. Instructions have been sent to all Chief Accounts and Finance Officers, divisional and district controllers, and upazila accounts offices to implement the order. The directive follows an earlier communication from the Internal Resources Division and the National Board of Revenue (NBR) issued on October 7 regarding mandatory tax deductions.
