Exports and remittances have shown a rise within one-and-a-half months of his government, the prime minister says
In his budget speech in Parliament on Thursday, Finance Minister AMA Muhith said: “Although VAT at a truncate rate of 7.5 percent is currently levied on English medium schools. private universities, private medical colleges and private engineering colleges are still beyond the boundary of the VAT net.”
The finance minister proposed to impose VAT at 10 percent on these educational institutions, a rate he described would keep “the tax burden at a rational level”.
