Mushak/VAT basics for Bangladesh businesses

Value Added Tax (VAT) and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) are two common taxes for Bangladeshi businesses. In Organ360 you set the rates once as master data and the system applies them to the right transactions through the JRN engine.

VAT is usually collected from customers and paid to the government. TDS is withheld from payments to suppliers. The ERP records both as separate ledger lines so you can trace them in reports.

Mushak 6.3 is the local purchase and sales register used for VAT. Mushak 9.1 is the monthly VAT return. The RPT module can prepare these reports when the accounts are tagged with the correct VAT category.

You do not need to fill paper forms by hand. Export the report in the format your accountant wants and then upload it to the NBR portal or share it directly.

For VAT to flow correctly, each income and expense account in the COA must be linked to a tax category. When SEL records a sale, the JRN engine splits the total into the revenue account and the output VAT account.

This double-entry posting keeps your cash, revenue and tax liability in balance. It also makes the trial balance match your bank statements.

The RPT module reads posted journal lines by tax category and date range. It can show input VAT, output VAT, net VAT payable and TDS deducted. All numbers are live calculations, not stored summaries.

Because the report is rebuilt from the journal each time, you can trust it for NBR filing. If a backdated correction is posted, the next report run will include it automatically.

Keep your tax master data up to date as NBR rates change. Review VAT accounts before every close and lock the period after the return is filed. This habit makes audits smoother and penalties less likely.

A well-tagged COA, accurate SEL entries and a locked period give you a clean audit trail that any tax officer can follow.
