Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about Bangladesh income tax, VAT, and our services.

Income Tax

Any person whose total income exceeds the tax-free limit (৳3,50,000 for males; ৳4,00,000 for females and senior citizens) must file a return. Additionally, persons with TIN, owning a vehicle, having a credit card, residing in city corporation areas, or dealing in real estate must also file regardless of income level.

For individual taxpayers, the deadline is November 30 of each year. Companies must file within 6 months from the end of their income year. If November 30 is a public holiday, the next working day applies. Extensions can be requested under Section 182 of the Income Tax Act 2023.

The tax rebate is 15% of eligible investments. The maximum investment amount eligible for rebate is the lower of: (a) 25% of your total income, or (b) ৳1 crore (৳1,00,00,000). Eligible investments include life insurance premiums, DPS, PF, NSC, stock market investments, and zakat to approved funds.

AIT is tax paid in advance in quarterly instalments during the income year. Persons whose last assessed tax exceeds ৳12,000 must pay AIT in 4 quarters (July 15, October 15, January 15, April 15). AIT paid is credited against the final tax liability at return filing time.

Yes, under Section 183 of the Income Tax Act 2023, a taxpayer may file a revised return within the time limit for filing the original return, or within 2 years from the end of the assessment year, whichever is later. The revised return will supersede the original.

VAT Questions

Businesses with annual taxable turnover exceeding ৳30,00,000 (30 lakh) must register for VAT (obtain a BIN number). Businesses below this threshold but operating in a VAT-applicable sector may register voluntarily. Cottage industries below ৳30 lakh are exempt.

Under the VAT Act, late filing of Mushak-9.1 attracts a penalty of ৳10,000 per month of delay. Additionally, interest at 2% per month is charged on outstanding VAT amounts. Persistent non-compliance can result in BIN cancellation and prosecution.

VAT-exempt items (1st Schedule) are outside the VAT scope entirely — no VAT is charged and no input credit can be claimed. Zero-rated items (2nd Schedule — mainly exports) are taxed at 0%, but the supplier can claim input tax credit. This makes zero-rating more favorable for exporters.

Yes. Registered VAT payers can claim input tax credit for VAT paid on purchases directly used in VATable activities. You need a valid Mushak-16 (VAT invoice) to claim credit. Input credit must be claimed in the same period or within 4 tax periods of the original purchase.

Supplementary Duty (SD) is an additional tax levied on certain luxury goods, tobacco, alcohol, and services under the VAT & SD Act 2012. SD rates range from 10% to 500% on specific items. SD is collected on top of VAT and is payable by the same VAT-registered businesses dealing in those items.
