Exports and remittances have shown a rise within one-and-a-half months of his government, the prime minister says
The bill was passed by parliament without any major change on Monday.
In his budget speech in parliament on Jun 11, Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal proposed the introduction of an incentive for investments of the untaxed money by paying 10 percent tax.
The investment will be subject to satisfying certain conditions, including a lock-in period of three years, and no other authority, including the income tax authority, will raise any question in this regard, he said.
In the FY 2011-12 budget, there had been a similar 10 percent tax scheme for the use of “black money” in the stock market. That initiative had required a lock-in period for two years.
