A ruling party Member of Parliament, Dr. Mahbubur Rahman representing the Mymensingh-7 constituency, has proposed exempting private universities in Bangladesh from taxation. He raised the question in parliament regarding how private organizations, specifically universities, are considered taxable entities. Dr. Rahman made the proposal during the budget discussion on Thursday, June 25th, during the 15th day of the second and first budget session of the 13th National Parliament. The discussion began at 11:00 AM. The MP’s suggestion initiates a debate on the financial status and tax obligations of private educational institutions within the country. Further details regarding the rationale behind the proposal and potential government response are expected to emerge as the budget deliberations continue. This move could significantly impact the financial operations of private universities in Bangladesh.
