- The Energy and Mineral Resources Division requested the National Board of Revenue to impose a 10% VAT on imported LPG, replacing the current 15% exemption.
- The division also proposed waiving the 7.5% VAT and other business-stage taxes on domestically produced LPG.
- The move aims to address an LPG supply crunch, as 98% of Bangladesh’s LPG is imported and demand rises in winter.
- The LPG Operators Association of Bangladesh advocated for zero percent VAT on imports but agreed with the advisory council’s discussion.
- Implementation will depend on a joint assessment of consumer price impacts, as recommended by the advisory council.
