Frequently Asked Questions About
Tax Services in Bangladesh
Corporate income tax rates in Bangladesh vary by company type. Publicly traded companies, non-listed companies, and foreign-owned entities each have different applicable rates as defined in the Finance Act. The rate structure is updated annually, and proper classification of your entity determines the correct rate.
Businesses with annual turnover exceeding the threshold set by NBR (currently BDT 50 lakh for certain categories) must register for VAT and obtain a Business Identification Number (BIN). Even below-threshold businesses may need to register depending on their sector and transaction types.
Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) requires the payer — not the recipient — to deduct tax at prescribed rates on certain payments (salaries, rent, contractor fees, supplier invoices) and deposit it with the NBR. Failure to deduct or deposit TDS on time results in penalties and interest.
Corporate income tax returns are filed annually. VAT returns are filed monthly. TDS returns and challan deposits are required on a transaction-by-transaction or monthly basis. Advance tax payments are made quarterly for applicable companies.
Transfer pricing rules apply to transactions between related parties, including payments to parent companies, sister entities, or affiliates. Companies must maintain documentation showing that intercompany transactions are priced at arm’s length. NBR can challenge pricing that does not meet this standard.
NBR may select companies for tax assessment or audit. The process involves document requests, review of returns and supporting records, possible hearings, and issuance of an assessment order. Companies have the right to respond and appeal. Professional representation during this process is highly recommended.
Yes. We assist with HS code classification, customs valuation review, tariff advisory, and compliance with import-export regulations. For companies facing post-clearance audits or disputes, we provide representation and documentation support.
The Finance Act is passed annually and often changes corporate tax rates, TDS rates, VAT exemptions, customs duties, and compliance rules. We track every amendment and apply relevant changes to your compliance and advisory work as soon as they take effect.
Yes. Unlike firms that only handle direct tax or only VAT, we provide integrated corporate tax, VAT, and customs support. This ensures consistency across your entire tax position and avoids gaps between different tax advisors.
