Notification

This is to inform all concerned that currently, Value Added Tax (VAT) collectible against various types of certificate registration and renewal fees from all regional offices under the Office of the Chief Controller of Import and Export is being deposited by businessmen into the specific VAT code of the regional office. However, businessmen sometimes mistakenly deposit VAT under the wrong code instead of the correct code, submitting it under the code of another office, which is causing various problems. To resolve this emerging problem, upon request to the National Board of Revenue to determine a single invoice code for the entire country for the collection of VAT on fees/charges related to import and export registration and renewal, the National Board of Revenue has determined the invoice code: 1/1133/0003/0311.

2. In light of the above, it is hereby directed to deposit all VAT payable against the registration fee and renewal fee of the Office of Import and Export under the aforementioned code (Code: 1/1133/0003/0311).
