Mandate Overview
The mandate
Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue (NBR) is rolling out a national VAT e-invoicing program as part of the broader VAT and Supplementary Duty Act 2012 modernization. A pilot was launched in 2023, with phased onboarding for VAT-registered businesses progressing through 2024-2026. The framework targets real-time or near-real-time clearance of B2B VAT invoices, integrated with the NBR's broader VAT online filing system. As of early 2026, the binding go-live dates and final technical specifications continue to evolve, with sectoral pilots running and full-scope mandate legislation pending.
