“Court asked GP not to settle the audit dispute outside the court,” BTRC lawyer Reza-E-Raquib told Dhaka Tribune. After running an audit on the Norway-based company, BTRC in 2016 claimed Tk12,579.95 crore from the mobile phone operator in taxes and late fees accumulated over the years. GP officials claimed that the methodology in the particular issue of BTRC was questionable. GP in a statement yesterday said, “The Hon’ble Appellate Division has adjourned the hearing until 24 Nov and the stay order passed by the Hon’ble High Court is still in effect. We again demand that BTRC comply with the current stay order and act in good faith.
