The government has proposed abolishing a long-standing tax of Tk 300 on mobile SIM cards, a move welcomed by telecom operators, who demanded further reduction of corporate tax to a ‘reasonable level’.
Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury announced the measure while presenting the national budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year on Thursday, saying the government would also pursue broader reforms of tax, value-added tax (VAT) and licensing policies in the information and communications technology sector.
