The rules regarding the administration of Value Added Tax (VAT) have undergone significant changes over the last few years.  With busy day-to-day role, it has become very challenging to keep up-to-date with the latest rules. On this context, the Training & Development section of the Office of Human Resources, AIUB arranged a training program on 27th of August 2022 for all officials of the Accounts, Audit, and Purchases & Procurement team.

Dr. Abdul Mannan Shikder, Member (Grade 1), Customs Audit, Modernization & International Trade of National Board of Revenue (NBR), Bangladesh was the facilitator of this training session.  He highlighted all recent and upcoming changes to VAT.

This training helped to determine how VAT can be recovered under the exemption rules. Participants were informed about the latest guidance and some key problem areas particularly from AIUB’s perspective. The knowledge and awareness gained from this training would help participants to minimize errors during their official tasks of VAT processing. At the end of the session, Mr. Kh. Sabbir Kabir, Director, Finance, AIUB handed over a token of appreciate to the facilitator.
