BTMA in Bangladesh seeks removal of import duties on fibres
11 Mar 23 1 min read
BTMA requested NBR to remove the value-added tax (VAT) imposed on the collection of raw materials by deemed exporters to produce recycled fibre and later during their sale to domestic millers.
It also requested VAT exemption on fabrics manufactured from artificial fibre by power looms.
It called for doing away with the 3-5 per cent advance income tax levied on the import of machinery, according to Bangladeshi media reports.
The 2 per cent tax deducted on the payments of cotton purchased from domestic sources should be withdrawn as well, it demanded.
NBR was urged to reset a revised tariff value by considering the local production cost of fabrics and their global prices.
