Currently, the rate of surcharge payable up to the net asset value of Tk 4 crore is nil

Owners of more than one car are likely to face an environmental protection surcharge from the upcoming fiscal year as the government plans to discourage the use of vehicles in a bid to contain carbon emissions and air pollution.

The Supreme Court has ruled that collection of surcharge from the rich will not be stopped.

The cabinet approves a new law to introduce 1 percent surcharge on mobile phone use, cabinet secretary says. The government will earn Tk 140cr each year when the law will become effective.
