TAX FRAMEWORk
What Is the Corporate Tax Rate in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh’s corporate income tax generally ranges from 20% to 27.5% depending on the business sector.
According to the National Board of Revenue (NBR), Bangladesh applies different corporate tax rates based on industry type and company structure. Publicly listed companies may benefit from lower tax rates, while banks, financial institutions, and tobacco businesses are taxed at higher rates. VAT registration is mandatory for eligible businesses under Bangladesh’s VAT and Supplementary Duty Act.
Bangladesh continues to attract foreign investors through competitive labour costs, export-oriented manufacturing incentives, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), and strategic access to South Asian markets. The India–Bangladesh DTAA also helps reduce double taxation risks for Indian companies operating in Bangladesh.
