The last date for the submission of tax returns ended yesterday as the government refused to extend the deadline.
About nine lakh people have submitted tax returns this year, up nearly 18.9 percent from last year, according to the officials of the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
As of yesterday, the tax identification number holders deposited more than TK 950 crore to the national exchequer that may increase after the final calculation, said an NBR official.
The income tax offices were open until 8pm yesterday, three hours more than the usual office hours, due to the prevailing rough weather.
Earlier, the government fixed September 30 as the last date for such submission and later extended the deadline for another seven days.
