Tax Evasion Partex Group chief sued
A Dhaka court yesterday issued an arrest warrant against Partex Group Chairman MA Hashem hours after the National Board of Revenue (NBR) filed a case against him for tax evasion.
Judge (In-charge) Mohammad Ismail Hossain of the Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order after a case was filed for evading tax of Tk 4,76,09,845 from 1977-1978 to 2005-2006 fiscal years.
The court also directed officer-in-charge of Gulshan police station to submit report by September 19 on execution of the arrest warrant.
In the case statement, NBR Deputy Tax Commissioner Kabir Uddin Mollah said Hashem evaded Tk 4,76,09,845 in income tax on Tk 18,93,42,380 earned from different sources. He repeatedly provided false information about his income and expenditure, the statement said.
Hashem, during submitting his tax returns, said he did not conceal any information about his income and expenditure. But NBR rejected his claim.
Hashem was arrested during the tenure of caretaker government on different charges including graft and later he was released on bail.
