RAJSHAHI, Aug 23 (BSS):  Speakers at a participatory discussion said in the city on Saturday that emphasis should be given on creating more mass-awareness for boosting tax collection in the greater interest of making the country economically self-reliance.
They also said transparency and accountability should be ensured in the tax collection system so that more people are encouraged towards tax payment together with increasing the volume of tax collection.
District committee of Campaign for Good Governance (CGG) organised the discussion titled "Orientation on Tax Justice for District Campaigners" held at SBMSS hall room. 'Domestic Resource Mobilisation, Budget Governance and Tax Justice: Bangladesh Perspective' was the main theme of the discussion.
The discussants viewed that the enhanced tax collection from the internal resources could be the effective means of reducing the dependence on foreign aid for executing the uplift programmes.
