INDIRECT TAXVALUE ADDED TAX (VAT) SYSTEM IN BANGLADESH
BRIEF HISTORY ON INTRODUCTION OF VAT
Background : Just before the introduction of VAT the Excise Duty (as Indirect Tax)
under the Excises and Salt Act, 1944 was the domestic source ofrevenue for the Govt. of Bangladesh
Business Turnover Tax (BTT) for 8 services under the BusinessTurnover Tax Ordinance, 1982. The revenue from BTT was very
insignificant. Sales Tax on some selected goods at the import stage under the Sales
Tax Ordinance, 1982.
Share of Direct tax (Income tax & others) was only about 12% and it wasvery difficult to raise the share shortly.
Taking the pressures for reducing the revenue dependence on customsduty into an account.
NBR used to increase the rate of taxes every year and the incidence oftax on tax (cascading effect) was hampering productions and trades.
With the narrow base and regressive nature, the major domestic revenuesource Income tax and Excise system was unable to mobilize theincreasing need of revenue for the Govt. and the development of thecountry.

Development budget was dependent on Paris Consortiummeeting (Bangladesh Aid Gr. or Dev. Partners meeting).
World Bank and IMF suggested to introduce the VAT systemas progressive and useful for Bangladesh to enhancerevenue and mitigate the crisis of dev. fund.
A joint delegation from Govt. Official and Trade bodiesvisited some of the countries, already implemented VAT orSales Tax system.
Govt. lastly decided to leave the Excise system andintroduce the modern and progressive VAT system.
It was also decided to introduce the VAT system by replacingthe Sales Tax (chargeable at a different rates at importstage), the Excise Duty (chargeable at different rates on
locally produced goods and rendered services) and theBusiness Turnover Tax (chargeable at a rate of 2% on somelocal small units).
France was the first country to introduce the modern VATsystem in 1954. At present about 144 countries are realizingrevenue under VAT system.

With the recommendation and help of Intl. Monetary Fund (IMF)
and World Bank (WB) VAT Act and Rules were drafted.
The Customs and Excise Department was entrusted to implement
the VAT system in Bangladesh.
At the time of introduction, VAT system was introduced only at
the import stage, manufacturing stage and service rendering stage
only, trade level was not covered. But now it is extended to all levels
with wholesale and retails.
VAT system was introduced on 2nd June, 1991 through promul-
gation of Value Added Tax Ordinance, 1991 (Ordi. 26 of 1991).
At the Budget time (FY 1991-92) the Value Added Tax Act, 1991
was passed by the Parliament and then signed by the Hon’ble
President in due course. At the same time the Value Added Tax
Rules,1991 was also formulated by NBR under the VAT act.
Later on Electricity duty, Advertisement tax and Guest Control fee
were merged into VAT system for better service and revenue realization .

CONTRIBUTION OF VAT IN NBR REVENUE
Like other developing countries, trade-based taxesdominated the tax structure with Customs Duty alone
accounting for more than 51% of total NBR revenue. Afterintroducing VAT in Bangladesh tax system, gain fromVAT revenue was quite impressive (55.63% of total taxrevenue in 2011 - 2012), it recorded to 28.4% of totalrevenue during 1990-1991. Historically, revenue collectionof NBR does not always reach the target but it recorded
surplus in FY08-09, FY09-10, FY10-11, and FY11-12 andthe collection of FY 12-13 & FY 13-14 was also satisfactoryin the context of international and domestic reality.
This outcome of the recent VAT collections is quiteimpressive though VAT system is not fully modernized andexist a lot of exemptions and is suffering from acutemanpower. A lot of scope still remains to boost up VATrevenue collections if a modern and efficient VAT systemcould be implemented through initiating different reformmeasures and adequate manpower and logistics areprovided.

The Concept and Determination of VAT
Value Added Tax is a tax on consumer expenditure and is collected on
business transactions and imports.The basic principle of VAT is to charge VAT at each stage in the supplyof goods and services (output tax). If the customer is registered for VAT and uses the supplies for business purposes, he will receive creditfor this VAT (input tax). The broad effect is that businesses are notaffected and VAT is actually borne by the final consumer.
According to Carls. Shoup , “ VAT is a tax on the value added by abusiness firm , through its activity, to the goods and services it buysfrom other business firms”.
According to Bannock & Peacock, “ VAT is a tax on final consumption
which is collected at every stage of production and distribution ratherthat at the retail stage alone”.
In other words, VAT is an expenditure tax or a transaction tax or aconsumption tax.

The Concept and Determination of VAT
Value: Here the Value means the Value on which the VAT will
be calculated or assessed or imposed, but not the Value incommon sense or in Economics.
Value Added: Added Value is the value that a manufacturer or a
service renderer or a businessman add to his inputs or raw materials or
other purchases by the time he sells the product or service. In otherwords, the added value is the differential amount between the salesprice and the input cost.
And the Tax here is, the tax on that Added Value; and that's the Value Added Tax (VAT) stands for.
So, Value Addition = Sales Price – Input (raw mate.) cost
And VAT = Output Price 15% – Input price 15% (if any)
[the rate of VAT in Bangladesh is uniformly 15%]
i,e VAT = Tk. 150
15% – 100
15%
= Tk. 22.50 – 15.00 = 7.50 (Net VAT)
8/10/2019 Taxation Course
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/taxation-course 25/170
The Act and the Rules : Value Added Tax (VAT) is administered under the Value Added Tax Act,1991 and the Value Added Tax Rules, 1991 and the SRO’s and Order’s
made there-under.
The Act contains 73 sections, 3 Schedules and the Rules contain 42rules and 27 Forms. Now the Act contains 101 sections, 3 Schedulesand the Rules contain 52 rules and 37 Forms.
RATE OF VAT Standard/uniform rate of 15% on all VAT applicable goods and services.Though there are some applicable net rates for services like, 2.25%, 3%, 4%,4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 7.5%, 9% etc. But practically these rates come from thetruncated base for assessable value for VAT of some specific service items. Ifthe truncated base value of an item is made tk. 30 over market price tk.100,
then the amount of VAT at the rate of 15% on tk. 100 will be tk. 4.5, That it isgenerally, but unofficially known as 4.5% VAT on the total amount.
Zero rate on all exports, deemed exports and foods for consumption outsideBangladesh and other goods supplied to an out going conveyance. (Section-3 )

IMPORTANCE AND PROCEDURE OF VALUATION
UNDER VAT SYSTEM
As the realization of VAT in Bangladesh is still dependent onmanufacturing level and the VAT is realizable on ad valorem basis, so
if the correct value is not determined, the actual revenue could not berealized. But whenever the real VAT system will be implemented at allstages of goods and services the question of value for VAT inBangladesh may be dealt with relaxed approach.
Value for VAT does not mean the actual value or sale value of a
commodity or service. Actual value or sale value is determined by themanufacturer or trader or market. Here the value stands for thepurpose of assessment of VAT at different stages only. So the questionof value for VAT in Bangladesh is very important, though it is notimportant for the countries where the ideal VAT system is introducedat all stages like: import, manufacturing, trading and servicerendering.
Provisions regarding determination of value for VAT and SD arecontained in section 5 and 7 of VAT Act and rule 3, 3ka, 3kaka, 3khaof VAT Rules. As per the current position of law the assessable valuefor VAT at different stages are to be calculated as mentioned below :

Act + Customs Duty + Regulatory Duty (if any) + Supplementary Duty(if any) with other Duties and Taxes (if any), except AIT.
Other duti es and taxes means : Safe Guard Duty (SGD), Counter-veil ingDuty (CVD), Anti Dumping Duty (ADD) etc.
Calculation of taxes is given below:Customs Duty (CD) and Regulatory Duty (RD)
Flat on Value: If assessable value is 100.00
if rate of CD is 25%,

Local stage:
Value of goods is determined by aggregating the cost of inputs, other costs & charges,
profit and commissions.
Goods (Manufacturing): [{Value of Inputs + Total Expenses + Commission, Charge,Fee (if any) + all Duties and Taxes (if any), Excepting VAT + Profit} +Supplementary Duty (if any)].
Calculation of Taxes :Value of Inputs = 156.00
Total Expenses = +30.00
Commission = +4.00
Profit = +20.00
Total Cost = 210.00
Supplementary Duty @20% = 42.00
Value for VAT = 210.00+42.00 = 252.00
So the amount of VAT=(252x 15%)= 37.80
