VAT on Advertising

Also known as: Advertising VAT, 15% VAT

In Bangladesh, a 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) applies to advertising services, including digital ads on platforms like Facebook and Google.

VAT on advertising in Bangladesh is charged at the standard 15% on advertising spend, including digital platforms. It’s an addition on top of your base ad cost, so a “100৳” boost really costs about 115৳ before any service charge. Every rate guide on this site notes VAT — for example the Facebook ads cost guide — and the Facebook budget calculator adds it automatically.
