A definition of ‘Input’ has been introduced. There
was no such definition previously. There was an
explanation from NBR about ‘input’.
Most importantly, the new definition of ‘Input’
includes machineries which was not considered as
input under the explanation provided by NBR. Labor
has been excluded from the definition.
Taxpayers would not
be able to claim
credit for tax paid on
any item which does
not fall within the
ambit of the
definition.
Section 2(18A)
Input
Changes in statutory definitions cont……..

‘Input’
means
Packaging
materials

immovable property has been
excluded from the definition.
No input tax credit will be available on
acquisition of immovable property.
Tax determination has been
defined as determination of tax

Chapter 11 of the VAT law.
It is actually an alignment of the definition
with the changes in Section 73 and 86 of the
VAT law. Previously, only the Commissioner

Changes in VAT deduction at source for service receiver
VAT
deduction
source
Deducted VAT has to be
deposited to the
Government exchequer
within 15 days of
payment to supplier.
Current provision of
depositing VDS by
making increasing
adjustment in VAT return
has been repealed.
Certificate of
deduction in Form
6.6. is to be issued
within (03 three)
working days of
depositing the VAT
deducted at source.
Copy of
certificate is
to preserved
for 05 (five
years).

An increasing adjustment is
to be done for the VAT
deducted at source from the
vendors. The amount of VDS
already deposited to
Government treasury is
adjustable against the net
VAT payable of the
concerned tax period.
This approach appears
to be contradictory
with the provision of
Section 45 and Section
49(3)(a) of the VAT &
SD Act, 2012.

In the case of payment
of fees to non-residents
staying outside
Bangladesh by an
unregistered person.
The concerned bank will deduct VAT
@ 15% while making payment and
deposit the same to the government
exchequer mentioning the code of
the Commissionerate where the bank
is registered.

In the case of
payment of fees
to non-residents
staying outside
Bangladesh by
registered person
The concerned
bank will not
deduct VAT at
source if the
registered person
can provide copy of
treasury challan
evidencing the due
VAT payment.
In the absence of proper treasury
challan or under payment, the bank
will deduct the applicable VAT at
source and deposit the same to
Government exchequer mentioning
the concerned Commissionerate
code.
