Bangladesh BIN & BTW Validator (NBR Register)

How Bangladeshi BIN and VAT verification works

In Bangladesh, Value Added Tax (VAT) is administered by the National Board of Revenue (NBR). Registered taxpayers and companies are issued a 13-digit Business Identification Number (BIN / e-BIN), formatted as 000000081-0001. For cross-border invoices and ERP systems the ISO prefix is BD, for example BD000000081-0001.

Bangladesh is outside the European Union, so a Bangladeshi BIN cannot be verified in EU VIES. VIESAC connects to the National Board of Revenue (NBR) register, verifies whether the BIN is Active or Inactive, and retrieves statutory registration details including the tax commissionerate, e-TIN, and economic activity. Quick check previews keep the entity name private; full audits archive the official technical response and produce tamper-evident PDF certificates.

Questions about Bangladeshi BIN and VAT numbers

What is a Bangladeshi BIN and what is its format?

A Business Identification Number (BIN) is a 13-digit unique tax and VAT identifier issued by the National Board of Revenue (NBR) under the VAT and Supplementary Duty Act. It is typically formatted with a hyphen between the 9th and 10th digit: 000000081-0001. Internationally, it carries the prefix BD.

Can I verify a Bangladeshi BIN in EU VIES?

No. EU VIES only verifies VAT numbers for EU member states and Northern Ireland. Bangladeshi VAT registrations are verified against the National Board of Revenue (NBR) register in Bangladesh.

What is the difference between e-BIN and e-TIN in Bangladesh?

An e-TIN is a 12-digit Taxpayer Identification Number used for income tax purposes in Bangladesh. An e-BIN is a 13-digit number specifically used for VAT, customs, and turnover tax. Most registered businesses hold both, and the NBR BIN search associates the e-TIN with the active BIN.

Does the quick check reveal the company name?

No. In this free quick check tool, the company name is kept private to protect commercial confidentiality. Full registered entity details, trading names, and address are recorded on official VIESAC audit certificates.

Does VIESAC support automated or bulk checking for Bangladesh BINs?

Yes. You can upload Bangladeshi suppliers in batch CSV, call the REST API (/api/v1/validate and /api/v1/audit), or monitor BINs for continuous statutory compliance.
