Md Kaus Mia, the maker of scented tobacco Hakimpuri, has retained the pole position in the category of businesspersons.
The National Board of Revenue (NBR) recently unveiled the names of 141 largest taxpayers, including 76 individuals for the fiscal year 2019-20.
"He loves to pay the highest amount of income tax and be the no.1 as he considers this as his contribution to the nation," said Shakil Ahmed, the tax adviser of Mia.
