The Bangladesh government has introduced the Income Tax Act 2023, replacing the Income Tax Ordinance 1984, to modernize and update the country's taxation system, effective from July 1, 2023. This Act mandates all taxpayers, including individuals, corporate bodies, and foreigners, to submit their income tax returns under the self-assessment scheme. Unlike the previous ordinance, which had two filing procedures, the new Act requires all taxpayers to file under the self-assessment procedure, simplifying the process and ensuring timely tax payment. The Act aims to expand the tax base, maximize revenue collection, and finance government expenditures. It introduces measures such as processing and auditing of self-assessment returns to detect errors, evasion, and avoidance. Additionally, it mandates proof of return submission for accessing government and non-government services. Overall, the Income Tax Act 2023 is poised to increase tax compliance, broaden the taxpayer base, and bolster revenue for the country's economic development.
