36 textile mills abused duty benefit while importing capital machinery
Release time:
2020-11-06
Thirty-six textile mills, located in Narsingdi, imported 30,350 power looms in the last five years to make clothes under a one-percent concessionary duty benefit for capital machinery import.
The owners of the mills, however, neither set up the factories nor used the looms for production, according to sources at the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
Other than 16 percent of the power looms imported over that duration, the 36 mills sold the rest of the machines in the local market, depriving the state from getting its due revenues, the NBR source said.
In a sudden visit to these textile mills recently, officials of VAT Commissionerate, Dhaka (East) detected abuse of the duty benefit for importing capital machinery.
The NBR field office detected evasion of duty and VAT of nearly Tk 39 crore in the last five years by the 36 mills.
Tasmina Hossain, commissioner of VAT Commissionerate of Dhaka East, wrote to Chattogram Customs House yesterday asking it to increase vigilance during release of consignments imported by these firms.
The Daily Star has collected a copy of the letter.

Driven by the sustained recovery of domestic and international market demand, the economic operation of China's dyeing industry has further consolidated its recovery trend. From January to May, the output of dyed fabrics has significantly increased compared to the pre-epidemic period, and the industry's operational efficiency has accelerated its recovery. Exports continue to grow, but the trend of "increasing volume but falling prices" has yet to be reversed, and the industry still faces considerable competitive pressure in exports.
The "Belt and Road" initiative unlocks new opportunities for China's industrial textile market
In recent years, with the rapid economic development of countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative, such as Southeast Asia and Africa, and the moderate growth in demand from traditional markets such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, overall market demand will be further released, providing Chinese enterprises with further opportunities to expand market space and creating favorable market conditions for the development of China's industrial textile industry.
