Government Amends VAT Regulations
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

June 3: The government has amended the Value Added Tax (VAT) Regulations for the 21st time. The government reportedly amended the regulations to enforce strict rules against import-based companies and contractors.

According to the new provision, both the buyer and the seller have to pay 50-50 percent of VAT to the government. So far, only the buyer had been paying VAT amount to the government.  

According to the amended regulation, public offices as well as other institutions and individuals registered under VAT have to deposit 50 percent of the tax at the concerned government office themselves for any transaction relating to contract agreements or for rendering goods and services.  

Likewise, the revised provision of VAT restricts the companies to receive full payment for rendering goods and services. The other half of the 50 percent tax which the party winning the contract (promisee) is eligible to pay to the government has to be paid by the party issuing the contract (promisor).

The officials at the Inland Revenue Department informed that the government imposed the new rules after finding that the contactors failed to pay the VAT amount even after completion of the projects.

One of the officials from the department informed New Business Age that the new provision of VAT is not for all taxpayers but only for goods and service providers.

He added that the department is issuing a public notice shortly to announce the new provision of VAT.
