Social media platform Facebook has received value added tax (VAT) registration from the National Board of Revenue (NBR).

On Sunday, Facebook received the Business Identification Number (BIN) from the Dhaka South VAT Commissionerate, said Additional Commissioner of Customs, Excise and VAT Commissionerate South Dhaka Pramila Sarkar.

Facebook Technologies Ireland Limited, Facebook Ireland Limited and Facebook Payments International Limited are the three Facebook companies that have received BIN.

Pramila Sarkar said Facebook applied online to get registration from three different organizations.

“We have approved today after the verification and selection,” she said.

Earlier, on May 25, popular search engine Google took BIN to get VAT related services including VAT payment and VAT return submission. Then Amazon and Netflix took VAT registration.
