- Bangladesh’s NBR extended the deadline to June 30, 2026 for businesses to upload previously filed paper VAT returns into the e-VAT system.
- A new “Hard Copy Return Entry” sub-module was added to help preserve monthly paper returns digitally.
- The move supports the planned mandatory online VAT return filing from July 2026.
- Businesses that miss the deadline may have their May 2026 closing balances frozen and lose eligibility for VAT refund claims.
- NBR says the digitization effort is meant to improve transparency and accountability in tax administration.
