Up to Tk 50 fee imposed on online tax payments

The Bangladesh Bank yesterday imposed a fee for income tax payments made through credit/debit cards, internet banking services, and mobile financial services (MFS) or payment service providers (PSP).
The fee will be Tk 20, including value-added tax, for payments of up to Tk 25,000 and Tk 50 for payments over that amount.
For payments via MFS or PSP wallets, the fee will be a maximum of Tk 30 and 1 percent charge will be applied on every transaction.
There will be no chargeback option for these transactions, the banking regulator said.
The central bank issued the directive to all scheduled banks, MFS providers, PSPs, payment system operators, and international payment schemes in Bangladesh.
