Tax Compliance Improvement Plan: (2023-2024), Bangladesh

The 2023–24 Tax Compliance Improvement Plan, Bangladesh is an evidence-based framework that targets risk segmentation across Registration, Filing, Reporting, and Payment, utilizing data from the taxes zone of Dhaka for focused interventions. It combines facilitative tools (media, automation, SMS) with enforcement and policy reforms, emphasizing inter-agency collaboration (e.g., RJSC, Ministry of Land). The plan aligns with the Medium- and Long-Term Revenue Strategy (MLTRS) by promoting digital services, risk management, and sector targeting, serving as a pilot for broader reforms. Improvements include clearer problem framing for high-risk sectors (real estate, private hospitals), stronger methodology with benchmarking, explicit policy impact statements, citations, and a roadmap for expanding to sectors like garments and e-commerce. Ultimately, the plan aims to scale into a national, risk-based compliance framework via integrated databases and standardized measures, supporting MLTRS 2025–2035 goals.
