VAT/BIN (Business Identification Number) registration

VAT (Value Added Tax)

VAT is an indirect tax levied on the value added to goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. In Bangladesh, VAT is governed by the Value Added Tax and Supplementary Duty Act, 2012. It is a key source of revenue for the government and applies to most businesses operating in the country.

A BIN is a unique 13-digit number issued by the National Board of Revenue (NBR) to businesses registered under the VAT system. It is mandatory for businesses with an annual turnover exceeding a specified threshold to obtain a BIN and comply with VAT regulations.

Registering for VAT and obtaining a BIN is mandatory for eligible businesses under Bangladeshi law. Non-compliance can result in penalties or legal action.

VAT is a significant source of government revenue, contributing to national development and infrastructure projects.

A BIN enhances the credibility of a business, making it easier to engage in formal trade and secure contracts.

Registered businesses can claim input tax credit, reducing the overall tax burden by offsetting VAT paid on purchases against VAT collected on sales.

VAT promotes transparency in business transactions, reducing the scope for tax evasion.
