More than 500,000 individual taxpayers have filed their income tax returns online for FY 2024-2025.
The National Board of Revenue, or NBR, said in a media statement that the milestone was reached by Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.

This marks a 129 percent growth in online submissions.
The number of registrations for online return filing has also surpassed 1.25 million.
The NBR trained around 2,400 people, including bank officials, telecom representatives, multinational staff, tax lawyers, and taxpayers, to simplify the process.
Taxpayers can easily and quickly file their 2024-2025 returns using the NBR's www.etaxnbr.gov.bd platform.
