Dhaka: The proposed national budget has lowered the turnover tax on mobile operators from 2 percent to 1.5 percent. Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed today made the announcement while unveiling the proposed national budget for FY26 in a televised speech.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, under existing tax regulations, this reduction applies solely to companies that are not profitable. Bangladesh has three private mobile operators-Grameenphone, Robi, and Banglalink. Among them, only Banglalink qualifies for this provision, as the other two already pay corporate tax on their profits.
