Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) will conduct a combing campaign to collect holding tax from September 1 this year, said Mayor Atiqul Islam at a programme on Wednesday.
The DNCC programme was arranged in the Uttara Community Centre to thank the cleaners of DNCC for the proper removal of sacrificial animal waste.
During his speech, the mayor said, "We will conduct this campaign to increase the scope of holding tax. Many buildings may have a structure of nine-floors but they are paying holding tax for up to two-floors."
