Afghanistan has delayed plans to implement Value Added Tax to 21 December 2021. A 10% VAT is expected to replace the country’s current business receipt tax (BRT). The Afghanistan Revenue Department is also contemplating amendments to the proposed VAT system so to create a simplified tax scheme for those businesses below the VAT threshold. Once enacted, the new VAT system is expected to help create further fiscal stability and growth in the country.
