Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today (29 June) called for the withdrawal of the provision in the proposed budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year that would allow undisclosed money to be legalised, saying the measure had drawn public criticism.
Participating in the general discussion on the proposed budget in the National Parliament, the prime minister urged the finance and planning minister to remove the provision.
He also placed a series of proposals relating to taxation, tariffs and investment incentives.
Among the proposals were raising the tax-free income threshold for individual taxpayers, withdrawing the requirement for a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to open bank accounts and register property, and reducing the tax rate for private universities.
The prime minister also proposed expanding tax-free facilities for ethnic minority communities.
In addition, he called for reducing tariffs and taxes on the import of raw materials used in the shrimp sector, manufacturing industries and other local industries.
