Muhith asks DCs to increase govt revenue

Finance Minister AMA Muhith has asked the deputy commissioners to find out ways to increase collection of government revenue. He told the DCs during the ongoing “Deputy Commissioners Conference 2017”, which began in Dhaka on Tuesday, that raising revenue collection was necessary for enhancing different services. Muhith noted that the number of tax payers in the rural areas was significantly low. He urged the deputy commissioners to help implement the current fiscal year budget. “Deputy Commissioners should have special initiatives to achieve the target of the National Board of Revenue,’’ he added.
