The National Board of Revenue yesterday brought about a massive change to its income tax field offices across the country in a bid to bring administrative dynamism for achieving its revenue target set for the current fiscal year.
In separate three orders, the board has transferred 27 of its officials, including promoting three from additional tax commissioners to tax commissioners, officials said.
Of those officials transfered, twenty four were commissioners of different field offices and three additional commissioners of income tax administration, according to the orders signed by the NBR second secretary (tax administration 1) Selina Khatun.
An NBR high official said the change in revenue administration was a part of regular process to bring newness to administration to boost revenue collection.
“The NBR does not want tax officials to work in a same office for long period and so many of them were transferred so that they can make plans for new sectors for revenue collection to achieve target for FY14-15,” said the official.
Recently, the post of two taxmen fell vacant in NBR as the two retired. Following their retirement, the NBR made a shuffle in the income tax administration to fill up the vacant posts.
The NBR is set to collect Tk1,49,720 crore as revenue in the current fiscal year, while its income tax wings have to collect Tk57,500crore as tax.
