The central bank has proposed the National Board of Revenue (NBR) to consider the profits earned by individual investors from their investment in the Islamic bond as tax-free income. The banking regulator has also suggested the NBR withdraw the 5 per cent source tax on the investment in the Shariah-compliant bond, known as sukuk. The Bangladesh Bank wrote a letter to the NBR on March 4, requesting it to take measures so that clients get inspired to purchase Sukuk certificates in the secondary bond market.The Bangladesh Bank issued a sukuk on December 28, the first of its kind in Bangladesh, to raise Tk 8,000 crore for the implementation of a nationwide safe water supply project.The government initially raised 50 per cent of the targeted amount, and the rest Tk 4,000 crore will be mobilised in May.Investors will enjoy a profit of 4.69 per cent on their investment in the Islamic bond. The sukuk will mature in five years, and the government looks to implement the safe water supply project by June 30, 2025.The central bank has urged the NBR to treat Sukuk like three other bonds the government has introduced for expatriate Bangladeshis. The Bangladeshis investing in the US Dollar Premium Bond, the US Dollar Investment Bond, and the Wage Earners Development Bond do not face any tax.
