This study examines the progress Bangladesh has made in reforming its tax system and assesses further actions needed in this area. It concludes that the entire tax system is in need of significant improvement. The study focuses on the major taxes -- corporate and non-corporate income taxes, the value-added tax (VAT) system including supplementary duties, and import tariffs. Though there are problems with other, relatively minor taxes, these are not covered in the study, except briefly when they are essentially related to the reform of major taxes. Following a summary, Chapter 2 presents a comparative analysis of such macro-economic aspects as levels of savings, investment, government total revenue and tax revenue, total government expenditure and tax structure of Bangladesh and selected developing countries -- which highlights features that indicate some major tax reform requirements for Bangladesh. In Chapter 3, an account of the current tax system of Bangladesh and its recent reforms is provided. Chapters 4-7 turn to tax reform issues and options concerning major taxes; recommendations are included. (Author abstract)

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
