A rational approach will be maintained in mobilisation of revenue as the prime aim of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) is to boost revenue collection by keeping friendly relations with business community, said newly appointed NBR chairman Md Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan. “We must maintain a cordial relation with businesspeople. We must not have an attitude that we want to realize something from them forcibly . . . they would never be our rivals. We will realise the exact share of the government,” Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan said, many big businessmen don’t pay tax.
He urged the NBR officials to find them out. He directed the NBR officials to do so
at a programme on occasion of joining his work place yesterday.
At that time, Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan said they would have to talk to big business leaders. “We want to honor them.” he said while exchanging views with senior NBR officials.
