The National Board of Revenue (NBR) collected 24.33 per cent higher tax revenue in July 2025 than the corresponding month last year, which was volatile due to the mass uprising.
It collected Tk 272.49 billion in taxes in the first month of FY26, Tk 53.33 billion higher than in July 2024, said a press statement of the NBR issued Wednesday.
In July of FY25, revenue collection stood at Tk 219.16 billion.
In July 2025, the highest revenue came from domestic value-added tax (VAT), which amounted to Tk 113.52 billion, 32.45 per cent higher than Tk 85.71 billion collected in the same month last year. Income tax and travel tax collection was Tk 62.95 billion, up from Tk 51.75 billion in July 2024, a 21.64 per cent increase.
Revenue collection from import and export duties in July 2025 stood at Tk 96.02 billion, 17.52 per cent more than Tk 81.70 billion in the same month last year.
To sustain the positive trend, the NBR will take various effective initiatives to further strengthen the efforts of officials engaged in the collection of income tax, VAT, and customs duties.
The NBR hopes taxpayers will become vital partners in nation-building by ensuring compliance with the tax laws and paying their taxes properly.
