Grameenphone has been awarded for resolving the maximum number of cases through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in FY 2020-2021.
Jens Becker, CFO of Grameenphone, received the award on behalf of the company at an award-giving programme organized by Large Taxpayers Unit – Value Added Tax (LTU-VAT) as part of the VAT Week (December 10-15) celebration.
ADR is a process of determining disputes within shortest possible time, beyond the traditional options followed by Appeal, Tribunal, and Court formalities, leading to efficiency. After a worldwide trend of success, tax administration in Bangladesh has introduced ADR in FY 2011-12.
This year NBR is observing the VAT Day and VAT Week to encourage people as well as organizations with the theme – “Pay VAT online, take part in nation building”. Presiding over the programme Wahida Rahman Chowdhury, Commissioner of LTU-VAT gave away the award to Grameenphone.
“We are honored to be awarded for resolving the highest number of cases through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the current fiscal year, and we will continue to resolve the remaining issues together as one team,” said Jens Becker, Grameenphone CFO.
Arif Uddin, Director and Head of Financial Controlling and Taxation and Mohammed Kayum Sarker, Head of Value Added Tax (VAT) from Grameenphone, were among others present.
