|Summary of ITA 2023, FO 2025 |
Here is a short summary on some key areas on Bangladesh Tax, based on recent updates enacted through Finance Ordinance 2025. Due to lack of time, could not go into details. Also I wanted to prepare a summary of the ITA 2023 and updates to that since enactment. That will take time, also its a very hectic process.
I would appreciate if people reach out about queries on ITA 2023 and its implications. I will try to answer queries to the best of my knowledge.
As a test of how many people are interested in this content, I am publishing video for now, based on this, I will design future learning kits on other issues.
Also will be sharing the PDF or images of these soon.
Thank you.
I am really grateful to everyone who supported this page, from 2010 to 2013.
A time when social media was not that powerful, access was not very easy at it is now. Thank you.
This page was doing great for 2/3 years. It used to be updated with latest developments on ACCA qualifications, its opportunities, global reach.
On around 2013 I found that some people were copying contents from this page, without any reference and using in their page without any credit.
The updates I used to share, took me time to organise, verify and also to present in legible manners. Its really hurtful to see others using your creativity, ideas without recognition.
At that time, it was too much for me, I was very demotivated and decided to stop this page. Later, due to work, daily issues, was not able to spend time on this.
Now I have decided to start growing audience on this and help people on finance related issues, my practical experiences on accouting - finance, audit, tax, data analytics, AI basics etc.
I would appreciate reaching out to me for such queries, I will try to answer questions, help finance professionals with real work challenges, improvemets, financial process etc.
Check details, for which you can reach me out, in the about info.
Thank you .
