Driving towards Digital Bangladesh in reverse gear
25 Jun 2020  |  The Daily Star
Bangladesh has made significant strides towards becoming a Digital Bangladesh, largely due to government support and private sector involvement, particularly from the telecom sector. However, the current taxation regime, especially the 2% minimum turnover tax, is seen as a major hindrance, disproportionately affecting telecom companies compared to other sectors like tobacco. This tax policy is criticized for stifling investment and growth in the telecom industry, which is crucial for the country's digital economy. The article calls for a reevaluation of these tax policies to foster a more conducive investment climate and support the continued digital transformation of Bangladesh.
