Value Added Tax (VAT) will be imposed only on owners of the ride sharing apps like Uber and Pathao, not on the drivers’ income, said Bangladesh’s National Board of Revenue (NBR) clearing the speculation over the imposition of VAT on ride sharing services.

“Neither the drivers nor the passengers will have to pay the VAT,” said the revenue authority.
