Bangladesh Bank has mandated online tax return submissions for all bank officials and staff in the country’s four city corporations, following an October 22 directive from the National Board of Revenue (NBR). Managing directors and CEOs of scheduled banks are responsible for ensuring compliance with the new requirement.
This directive, issued under Section 45 of the Banking Companies Act, 1991, aligns bank employees’ tax filing practices with those of government employees. To streamline the process for the 2024-2025 tax year, the NBR launched an online submission system on September 9, accessible via www.etaxnbr.gov.bd. Over 100,000 returns have been filed online as of October 21, reflecting growing adoption of the digital platform.
