BritishAmericanTobaccoBangladeshcontinuestocontribute 2/3rd of the total tax collections from
the cigarette industry. In 2013, the Company contributed BDT 6,698 corers as supplementary duty,
value addedtax and othertaxes.Thisrepresents an increase of BDT 1,107 corers. The Company will
continue tosupportGovernment proposals that establish a sustainable level of tax contribution to
the National Exchequer while ensuring a sustainable growth for the industry.
In the National Budget for 2012-2013, the Corporate Tax rate for a cigarette manufacturer listed in
Stock Exchange was increased from 27.5% to 35%. Along with this increase, 10% rebate for paying
more than 20% dividendswaswithdrawn.Asaresult, applicableCorporate Tax rate forthe Company
has increasedfrom24.75% to 35%. The Companyacknowledges the Government’s revenue growth
targets to support the momentum of a growing and expanding economy and it has been working
with National Board of Revenue (NBR) over the years to ensure sustainable revenue growth from
cigarette industryinthe form of indirecttax.However,the Companystronglyfeels that by targeting
the Corporate Tax structure of cigarette manufacturer listed in the Stock Exchange, Government’s
gain is minimal. Rather, it significantly impacts the shareholders’ return (which includes the
Government of Bangladesh), discourages the Company to declare high dividends, and takes away
the incentive forothertobaccocompaniestobe listedinthe stockexchange. The Company strongly

hopes that the Government will reinstate the 10% tax rebate for paying more than 20% dividends
when considering the upcoming National Budget.
Conclusion:
The Company grew its gross turnover to BDT 9,518 corers, up by BDT 501 corers from the previous
year. This increase was driven by volume growth and tax-led price increases. Profit before tax
decreased by 38% from BDT 650 corers last year to BDT 570 corers in 2013. The higher profit before
tax reflects higher volumes, better brand mix and increased price, as well as cost savings and
productivity initiatives driven across the Company. There is no significant variance between the
quarterly and the annual financial performance of your Company for the year 2013. Furthermore,
there isno extra-ordinary gainorloss in 2013. The notes to the annual financial statements explain
the variations against the previous year.
