In the letter, the Chittagong Chamber president mentioned numerous reasons and adverse situations which have made it impossible for a large number of new and old taxpayers to submit their income tax returns in such a short time.
The reasons mentioned in the letter include delayed reception of the income tax circular for 2023-24, income tax guidelines, a lack of awareness among taxpayers about the new Income Tax Act 2023, adverse global economic conditions caused by international wars, inflation and reduced imports due to dollar crisis.
