The National Board of Revenue (NBR) today honoured Unilever Bangladesh Limited (UBL) as one of the top taxpayers for the fiscal year 2020-21.

NBR Chairman Abu Hena Mohammad Rahmatul Muneem handed over the tax card, crest and certificate to Unilever Bangladesh's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Zaved Akhtar at a ceremony held at Officers' Club in Dhaka.

Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal and Md Jashim Uddin, president of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), along with representatives of the other top taxpayers in various categories, were also present.

UBL has earned this special recognition for its significant contributions in paying taxes under the category: "Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries", UBL said in a press release. 

This is the sixth consecutive year UBL, one of the largest Fast Moving Consumer Goods Companies (FMCG) in the country, has retained its position as one of the top taxpayers, it said.

Unilever has been recognised as a top taxpayer eight times in total with a contribution of worth Tk 15,463 crore to the government exchequer, UBL said. 

In his reaction to the award, Zaved Akhtar, chief executive officer and managing director of UBL, said, "Unilever has been partnering with Bangladesh since the country's inception, and the journey of Unilever's progress in this country is the story of Bangladesh's growth."

"We are on a mission – to bring real change to improve people's lives and protect our nature. While doing so, we work directly with governments, regulators and legislators to impact economic activities, improve the health and wellbeing of the people and the planet. Today's recognition is a true testament to Unilever's continuous contribution to the internal revenue of Bangladesh."

"We will continue our partnership with the government and larger ecosystem and fuel the growth momentum and progress toward our vision of a developed country by 2041," Akhtar said.
