Download PDF Ex-prime minister Khaleda Zia yesterday paid Tk 33 lakh to the National Board of Revenue (NBR) under an amnesty offered to tax dodgers to get their undisclosed money legalised.
The NBR has so far received around Tk 300 crore tax under the amnesty as a total of 8,559 people took the opportunity to whiten black money amounting to Tk 1,622 crore, a senior
NBR official told the news agency.
The official confirmed that Khaleda, earlier notified by the Anti-Corruption Commission for submitting her wealth statement, declared her undisclosed money yesterday by paying the tax.
“She directly deposited the money with Bangladesh Bank and sent a copy of her statement to the NBR through courier service today,” he said yesterday evening.
The BNP chairperson is among those who availed the last-minute chance before the expiry of the amnesty. However, NBR extended the deadline till September 30.
The NBR official said there is nothing illegal in this type of payment. But he declined to give details about Khaleda’s total untaxed money declared today.

We all must atone for our sins, fear ALLAH .We all are corrupted in one or other way!
When an ordinary hides something, no one bothers, but when a person of power commits a crime, reporters follow them so much that they are often cought redhanded.
It is now obvious how all these leaders cheated by amassing wealth & evading paying taxes!
The flood & perils are punishment fron ALLAH, whole Bangladesh is in such a severe condition, only ALMIGHTY ALLAH can help.
Let us all pray for forgiveness to ALLAH & seek HIS help for our Protection from multiferous
calamities that is engulfing the Universe!
Thank You
