Tax problems will be solved once businesses share issues in written form: Kamal

Steps will be taken to solve the tax and stimulus related problems of the district level members of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry if they share the issues in written form, Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said today.

The minister made the comment at a press briefing after a meeting of the cabinet committee on public purchase.

Kamal's comment came a day after the top business leaders urged the government to take steps to put an end to the harassment businesses face at the hands of VAT and tax officials.

They also called for an extension of the loan moratorium period to help them recover from the coronavirus pandemic.

A group of businessmen from around the country made the call at a view-exchange meeting of the Council of Chamber Presidents 2022 at the federation office in Dhaka on January 22.
