Finance
Minister AMA Muhith presented a Tk 3 trillion budget on Thursday with a revenue
earning target of Tk 2 trillion.
Economists
have dubbed the target ‘ambitious’ while businesses fear it will put additional
tax burden on them.
But
NBR Chairman Md Nojibur Rahman differed at a post-budget press conference on
Friday in Muhith’s presence.
“Even
businessmen do not think they have been burdened with extra tax. Because the
budget has been prepared after discussions with business organisations,” he
said.
“Therefore,
the businessmen have a clear idea about the revenue target and source.”
