VAT registration and enlistment

Registration

Every business in the country is required to have a unique Business Identification Number (BIN).  To get a BIN, a business is required to receive a VAT registration certificate.

Whether a business is required to pay VAT would be depended upon annual turnover of that business.  If the annual turnover of a business stands at 30 Lakhs Taka or less, that business is not required to pay VAT whereas if the annual turnover of a business stands between 30 lakhs 1 Taka to 80 lakh Taka, that business is required to pay 3% Turnover Tax. All other businesses whose annual turnover is greater than 80 lakhs are required to pay VAT at 15% rate.
