The most important objective before these countries is to accelerate their economic growth through mobilizing internal resources. The under-developed countries, like Bangladesh, are caught up in the vicious circle of poverty. Consequently, such countries are not able to save much and whether individual savings or collective savings are only a small fraction of their national income. This means that a much greater tax effort is called for to raise country’s growth rate to a reasonable level. Since private savings and capital formation are meager in Bangladesh, the responsibility of resource mobilization for economic growth falls on the State. That is why the role of public finance in developing countries is very important. For accelerating economic growth, the government has to adopt a tax policy which may raise the rates of saving and capital formation in the country. Since private investment is not adequate for the purpose, the government has to make up the deficiency of private investment by increasing public investment and for that purpose raises resources through taxation.

Business taxes can have a huge impact on the profitability of businesses and the amount of business investment. Taxation is a very important factor in the financial investment decision-making process because a lower tax burden allows the company to lower prices or generate higher revenue, which can then be paid out in wages, salaries and/or dividends. Business taxes include, Federal Income Tax; a tax levied by a national government on annual income, Payroll Tax; a tax an employer withholds and/or pays on behalf of their employees based on the wage or salary of the employee, Unemployment Tax; a federal tax that is allocated to unemployment agencies to fund unemployment assistance for laid-off workers, and Sales Tax; a tax imposed by the government at the point of sale on retail goods and services. Sales tax is based on a percentage of the selling prices of the goods and services. Consumers pay sales taxes, but effectively, business pay them since the tax increases consumer’s costs and causes them to buy less.
A Health Savings Account (HSA) plan requires a high-deductible medical insurance policy, which means that the premiums on the policy will be less than for a low-deductible policy. The contributions to the HSA are deductible for AGI, which reduces the nondeductible amount of itemized deductions subject to certain limitations, and the taxpayer does not have to itemize to obtain the deduction. The HSA distributions pay for the deductible medical expenses and they are not included in gross income. Also, the income earned on the HSA is not included in gross income if it is used to pay medical expenses not covered by the high-deductible plan.
