How to Use This Calculator

  1. Choose the payment category that best matches the invoice, such as supply, service, rent, transport, or professional fee.
  2. Enter the base bill amount before VAT.
  3. Use the VAT rate shown on the invoice or the rate usually applied to that service.
  4. Mark whether the vendor has a valid TIN, because that often changes the TDS rate.

Methodology

TDS & VDS Withholding Logic

This section explains the calculation logic, assumptions, and source material used to make the result more trustworthy and easier to verify.

1. VAT:
   - VAT amount = Base bill x VAT rate
   - Gross bill = Base bill + VAT
2. TDS:
   - TDS = Base bill x Applicable TDS rate
   - Rate depends on payment category and often on TIN status
3. VDS:
   - VDS usually follows the VAT amount where withholding applies
4. Net payable:
   - Net payable = Gross bill - TDS - VDS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TDS in Bangladesh?

TDS is tax deducted at source. When a qualifying payer makes certain payments, part of the bill is withheld and deposited to NBR instead of being paid in full to the vendor.

What is VDS and how is it different from TDS?

VDS is VAT deducted at source. TDS is income-tax withholding on the base bill, while VDS is withholding of the VAT portion when the transaction and invoice setup require it.

Why does Mushak 6.3 matter?

In many real-world cases, VDS should only be considered when the vendor issues a proper Mushak 6.3 VAT invoice. Without that invoice, the handling is usually different.

Does TIN status change the withholding rate?

Yes, often it does. Many categories apply a higher TDS rate when the vendor does not have a valid TIN.
