The government’s revenue earnings from Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) jumped 128 per cent month on month in August on the back of rising trading volume. Market operators said the revenue earnings from the prime bourse increased in step with growing turnover, as earnings are related to turnover.

Of the total earnings in August, Tk 262 million came from the tax on the TREC (trading right entitlement certificate) holders’ commission, popularly known as brokerage commission, while Tk 67 million came from the tax on share sales by sponsor-directors and placement holders, the DSE statistics show. The government collected revenue worth Tk 473 million in the first two months of this fiscal year — July and August — which was Tk 791 million in the same month of the previous fiscal year.
