DHAKA, Jan 11, 2026 (BSS) - The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has launched the large-value corporate tax, VAT payments through mobile financial service bKash as part of the revenue board’s ongoing efforts to digitize the revenue management system. Speaking at the inauguration of digital corporate tax and VAT payments via bKash at the NBR Bhaban, the chairman said two successful real-time transactions had already been completed, proving the system’s capability to handle high-value payments securely and efficiently. We want all tax payments to be digital because digital transactions bring multiple advantages—real-time settlement, accuracy, transparency and reduced risk,” he said. Calling for the complete abolition of pay orders and crossed cheques for tax payments, he said modern digital payment channels have made such instruments obsolete. “With collective effort, we can build a transparent, efficient and technology-driven revenue system that benefits both taxpayers and the state,” he added.
