Income tax questions
What is the income tax rate in Bangladesh?
For individuals, income above the tax-free limit is taxed in slabs: 10% on the next Tk 3,00,000, 15% on the next Tk 4,00,000, 20% on the next Tk 5,00,000, 25% on the next Tk 20,00,000 and 30% on the rest. From AY 2028-29, income above Tk 2,95,00,000 over the limit is taxed at 35%.
How is salary tax calculated in Bangladesh?
Take your gross salary, including bonus and benefits, and deduct the tax-free part: one-third of salary or Tk 5,00,000, whichever is lower. Add any other income, apply the slab rates above the tax-free limit, then deduct the investment rebate. Your employer deducts the result from your salary in monthly instalments (TDS).
What counts as taxable income in Bangladesh?
Taxable income is your total income from salary, house property, business or profession, capital gains and other sources, after exempt income and allowable deductions such as the tax-free part of salary. Income taxed at a final rate at source, such as some savings-certificate profit, is not added to the slab calculation.
What is the tax-free income limit in Bangladesh for 2026-27?
For assessment years 2026-27 and 2027-28 it is Tk 4,00,000 for general taxpayers, Tk 4,50,000 for women and senior citizens aged 65 or older, Tk 5,25,000 for persons with disabilities and third-gender taxpayers, and Tk 5,50,000 for war-wounded gazetted freedom fighters and gazetted July fighters.
How much of my salary is tax-free?
One-third of your total salary income, up to a maximum of Tk 5,00,000, is exempt. The rest is added to your other income and taxed at the slab rates.
How is the investment tax rebate calculated?
The rebate is the lowest of three amounts: 3% of your taxable income, 10% of your eligible investments and donations, or Tk 7,50,000. Eligible items include savings certificates (up to Tk 5,00,000), DPS (up to Tk 1,20,000), recognised provident fund contributions, life insurance premiums, listed shares and mutual funds.
What is the minimum income tax?
If your income is above the tax-free limit, you pay at least Tk 5,000, even after the rebate. A first-time taxpayer pays at least Tk 1,000.
Do I get a rebate for filing my return early?
Yes. Under the Finance Act 2026, individuals who file between 1 July and 30 September get a rebate of 5% of their tax, up to Tk 25,000. Filing later in the tax year adds 2% (1 January to 31 March) or 5% (1 April to 30 June).
