The National Board of Revenue (NBR) reported collecting over Tk 3.6 trillion in revenue during the first eleven months of the current fiscal year, from July 2025 to May 2026. Despite achieving a record collection, the NBR fell short of its revised target by Tk 810 billion, according to an official statement released on Sunday night. In the first 20 days of June, an additional Tk 293.11 billion was collected, bringing the total to Tk 3.899 trillion, surpassing last year’s total revenue of Tk 3.708 trillion.

The NBR expects that with another Tk 250 billion collected in the final ten days of June, total revenue for the fiscal year could reach Tk 4.15 trillion, the highest in the country’s history. This would still be Tk 880 billion below the revised target but Tk 431.57 billion higher than the previous fiscal year. The NBR reported over 10 percent growth in revenue collection, with customs up 7.08 percent, VAT up 10.05 percent, and income tax up 12.54 percent.

To accelerate revenue collection, the NBR has formed three task forces for income tax, VAT, and customs divisions to expedite legal processes, recover evaded taxes, and strengthen audit and monitoring activities.
