Dhaka, 16 Jan - The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has decided to revise the VAT on hotels and restaurants to the previous level.

NBR Member (VAT Policy) Mohammad Belal Hossain Chowdhury disclosed the decision on Thursday.

The NBR will issue a notification in this  regard today.

On January 9, the government had issued an order increasing a 15 percent VAT from the previous 5 percent in the sector.

But the decision sparked widespread criticisms in the country.
