As per the current mandatory requirement for any business operating in Bangladesh, the nonresidential companies will have to pay 15% Vat on the revenue that they derive from Bangladesh. Several non-residential companies like Amazon and the largest tech giant Google had already obtained their Business Identification Number (BIN) from the NBR.

In a circular published on Wednesday, the central bank has asked the authorized banks to provide the Vat statements to NBR and Vat agents of these non-resident business entities like Google, Facebook, Amazon to the NBR. These statements are to be paid within the seven working days of this month.
