Internal Resources Division () is a Bangladesh government division under the Ministry of Finance responsible for overseeing revenue collection in Bangladesh.
History Internal Resources Division was established on 21 April 1979 as part of a re-organization of the Ministry of Finance.
On 13 May 2025, the government initiated a plan through the Revenue Policy and Revenue Management Ordinance, 2025, to dissolve the National Board of Revenue (NBR) and redistribute its functions between two newly proposed entities — the Revenue Policy Division (RPD) and the Revenue Management Division (RMD). According to the ordinance, RPD would oversee the implementation of tax laws and monitor tax collection trends, while RMD would be tasked with revenue collection. However, due to strong opposition from various quarters, the restructuring process remains under implementation, and the government is currently reviewing the plan with the intent to introduce amendments to address the concerns raised.
