The tax administrator's field office—Large Taxpayers Unit, Value Added Tax (LTU, VAT)—yesterday launched a mobile app called LTU-VAT to make it easy for businesses to get to know about the indirect tax.

According to the office, the taxpayers would be able to contact revenue officials and get to know about VAT rules, interpretations of various services, forms and VAT deposit codes.

Initially available on Google Play Store for android phones, the app also contains information about the companies under the LTU, VAT and on alternative dispute resolution.

“We have developed the app so that the taxpayers get all information easily,” said LTU Commissioner Md Matiur Rahman at the launching of the app, at the Institution of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.
