Bangladesh hit record tax revenue of 90.8 billion taka in Q1 2025–26, up 20.21% year-on-year.

Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue reported record first-quarter tax revenue of 90,825 crore taka for fiscal year 2025–26, a 20.21% increase from the same period last year. Growth was driven by strong gains in local VAT, income tax, and import/export duties, fueled by improved compliance, expanded tax coverage, and anti-evasion efforts. The result marks the highest quarterly collection in the country’s history.
