A three-day workshop on the new VAT law began on Sunday aiming to impart training to the various officials from the public institutions and corporate houses, at the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) conference room in the city’s Purana Paltan area.
Organized by the Bangladesh Tax Training Institute (BTTI), former member (VAT Policy) of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) M Rezaul Hasan inaugurated the workshop which was addressed, among others, by ADR facilitator Syed Aminul Karim and BTTI Director and Chief Executive Officer Shyamol Chandra Sarker.
Speaking on the occasion, Rezaul Hasan said the number of taxpayers in the country is very low in comparison with the total number of people and national income.
“The NBR has created tax-friendly environment, eased the necessary rules and regulations and introduced online services to increase the number of taxpayers. At the same time, various programmes have been undertaken to create tax awareness,” he added.
He said that once the new VAT law comes into effect, the small and medium businessmen would be benefitted as their accounting system would be much easier.
Rezaul also urged the private organizations to hold such workshops alongside the NBR to increase awareness on tax.
During the three-day workshop, VAT Online Project Director Syed Mushfiqur Rahman and VAT Commissioner Fakhrul Alam would remain present as trainers and would impart training on the new VAT law.
