NBR in dilemma to accept Khaleda, Saifur's taxes
Friday, 3 August 2007
The National Board of Revenue (NBR) is still in dilemma over accepting the taxes of former Prime Minister Khaleda and her government's Finance Minister M Saifur Rahman, who did not pay in time, reports UNB.
The NBR high-ups in an emergency board meeting Thursday failed to reach a decision whether to accept or refuse the paid tax on undeclared money or wealth of the two former bigwigs of the four-party alliance government.
Meeting sources told UNB that they would sit Sunday again to discuss the matter and take a decision, on which depends in a large part the two former government leaders' effort to take a clean chit from the Anti-Corruption Commission.
But, after the meeting, NBR chairman Baidur Rahman declined to say anything to the newsmen in this regard.
