In a separate development, an order was signed in late August by the chairman of Bangladesh's National Board of Revenue and the secretary of the Internal Resources Division exempting from tax imported goods, machinery and parts for the Rooppur NPP, the Dhaka Tribune reported on13 September. The order states that the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission will be the importer and exporter of all the goods, machinery and parts for the plant. Russian subcontractor Atomstroyexport will mostly benefit from the tax exemption.
