HOW DHS MOTORS IS OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES

Prioritizing the health and safety of our customers and staff, we are currently operating with half of our manpower at a time and the rest of the employees are working from home. Moreover, to enable customers to feel safer, we have introduced a virtual showroom experience along with living video consultation so that customers can experience a contactless demonstration of our products while staying safe at home. In addition, we are serving our service customer on an appointment basis only to limit the crowd in our service facility.The 2020-21 budget has been critical for the timing during the pandemic. We are grateful to the authorities that there was no major change in the import duty structure since revenue authorities are looking for every opportunity to increase public revenue. There has been a revision in the AIT payable annually for vehicle registration renewal which will have an impact on our customers. Since cars are considered luxury items in Bangladesh, we have to pay a huge sum at the port before getting our products in Bangladesh, as import duty, which is ultimately paid by the customers. The automobile industry is one of the highest tax-paying sectors of the country and we only request the authorities to reduce the burden of taxes on the end-user so that cars can be more affordable to the public since cars are not a luxury but a necessity, especially in current times.
