🇧🇩 How tax works
in Bangladesh.
2026/27 · National income tax guide
The calculation, explained.
The general taxpayer schedule for FY2026/27 has a BDT400,000 zero-rate threshold. A BDT5,000 minimum tax applies once taxable income exceeds that threshold.
The model assumes an existing general taxpayer. New-taxpayer minimum tax, women/senior/disability thresholds, salary exclusions, investment rebates and wealth surcharges are excluded.
Doctors: employment and independent practice
The Bangladesh comparison is an ordinary resident employment scenario. We have not yet verified a doctor-specific independent-practice regime for this country. Do not apply Indonesia’s NPPN 50% here or enter clinic turnover as salary. Practice deductions, professional contributions and mixed income require additional local research.
Tax brackets · BDT
Each rate applies only to the income inside that band.
| Taxable income slice | Rate |
|---|---|
| 0 – 400,000 | 0.0% |
| 400,000 – 700,000 | 10.0% |
| 700,000 – 1,100,000 | 15.0% |
| 1,100,000 – 1,600,000 | 20.0% |
| 1,600,000 – 3,600,000 | 25.0% |
| Above 3,600,000 | 30.0% |
