The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has reported a 21% year-on-year rise in VAT collection from large companies in the first five months of the fiscal 2023-24, thanks to price hike in gas and tariff increase in tobacco, which resulted in higher sales prices and, consequently, more VAT collected. Officials concerned said the NBR’s Large Taxpayers Unit (LTU-VAT) collected around Tk26,000 crore in the first five months of FY24, an increase of more than Tk5,000 crore; two sectors – gas and tobacco – contributed TK3,000 crore. VAT collection from the gas sector during the period increased by 105% on the back of gas price hike by up to 187% in February 2023.
