There was no announcement regarding any amnesty for bringing laundered money from abroad during the reading out of the proposed national budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year on Thursday.
Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal unveiled a Tk7,61,785 crore proposed budget in parliament.
The government last year decided to offer Bangladeshis a scope for legalizing their unreported assets outside the country without facing any questions.
They would have to pay taxes ranging from only 7-15% in order to make use of this opportunity, the minister said while announcing last year's proposed budget.
At that time, there was a lot of criticism about giving this opportunity.
Economists said no one would use this facility, and in the first 10 months of that financial year, no one had paid 7% tax and brought back their money to the country.
