The National Board of Revenue chairman, Abdul Mazid, on Saturday said they would try to raise revenue income from internal sources to make up the shortfall caused from the impact of decline in commodity prices in the world market.
‘Our revenue growth has been based on collection of import duty and VAT that failed to reach the target. We are not unhappy at that. We are trying to change the trend and raise revenue income from internal sources,’ Mazid told reporters in Chittagong Saturday afternoon.
Revenue collection during the first five months (July-November) of current fiscal year stood at Tk 18,614 crore as against the strategic target set at Tk 22,708 crore for the period. But it is higher than that of the corresponding period of last year of Tk 16,140 crore.
