Challenges
There is a lack of public education and outreach among people regarding the obligations to pay
property taxes
A study found that 89% of respondents believe that the NBR should improve their public outreach efforts
by providing more information on how to file tax returns and make payments properly
▪ 80% of respondents believe that there should be increased public awareness of tax-paying
responsibilities through regular publicity, seminars and educational campaigns
☐ Tax amnesty programmes in Bangladesh create a sense of unfairness among law-abiding
taxpayers who pay their taxes on time
-
▪ When tax evaders are allowed to avoid penalties and interest on their overdue taxes, it creates a
perception that those who pay their taxes on time are being penalised unfairly this leads to a decline in
voluntary tax compliance and overall tax collection as more taxpayers may be inclined to evade taxes in
the hope of receiving amnesty in future
