Income Tax Filing and Return Submission Only in 5,000 Taka

Income tax filing and return submission is the legally required process of reporting your annual income, tax-exempt allowances, assets, and liabilities to the National Board of Revenue (NBR) by preparing and submitting an income tax return, either on paper or through the NBR's e-Return system. Every individual holding a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), every registered company, and anyone earning above the tax-free threshold set out under the Income Tax Act, 2023 (which replaced the earlier Income Tax Ordinance, 1984) needs to file a return each assessment year. Filing matters because it is the legal proof that you have declared your income honestly, it is required for TIN renewal, visa applications, bank loans, government tenders, and vehicle or property registration, and failing to file triggers penalties under the same Act.

Aeenx offers complete income tax filing and return submission for a flat fee of BDT 5,000, covering return preparation, tax computation, and e-filing with the NBR for salaried individuals, freelancers, and small business owners with standard income sources. This guide explains exactly who needs to file, what the process involves, what documents you need, and how Aeenx's flat-fee service works.

If you would like to get your return filed quickly and correctly without learning the NBR portal yourself, contact Aeenx today to start your BDT 5,000 filing.

The obligation to file a return in Bangladesh is broader than most people assume. Under the Income Tax Act, 2023, filing is mandatory for several categories of taxpayers, regardless of whether tax is actually payable.

All TIN Holders

Anyone who holds a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) — whether obtained voluntarily or because it was required for a bank account, trade license, vehicle registration, or visa — is legally required to submit an annual return, even if their income falls below the taxable threshold.

Salaried Employees

Employees earning a basic salary above BDT 16,000 per month, or total annual income exceeding the tax-free limit (BDT 3,50,000 for general individual taxpayers, with higher thresholds for women, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities), must file. Many employers also require proof of return submission for annual increments or promotions.

Business Owners and Freelancers

Sole proprietors, partners in a firm, freelancers earning through local or foreign clients, and company directors must all file individual returns in addition to any corporate filing obligations.

Registered Companies

Every company incorporated with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) under the Companies Act, 1994 must file a corporate income tax return annually, regardless of profitability.

Specific Mandatory Categories

The NBR also mandates return submission for government employees at specific grades, doctors, lawyers, chartered accountants and other professionals registered with their respective councils, owners of firearms licenses, candidates for local government or national elections, and members of clubs registered under VAT law.

If you are unsure whether you personally fall under a mandatory filing category, ask Aeenx for a free assessment before the deadline approaches.

Flat Fee: BDT 5,000

Aeenx's BDT 5,000 income tax filing package is designed for salaried employees, freelancers, and small business owners with standard, single-source or straightforward multi-source income who want a professionally prepared and correctly filed return without the usual back-and-forth of hiring a tax consultant.

What Is Included

• Review of your income sources (salary, business, rental, freelance, bank interest, capital gains)
• Computation of taxable income and applicable tax liability under the current NBR tax slabs
• Calculation of eligible investment tax rebates (e.g., DPS, savings certificates, life insurance premiums)
• Preparation of the IT-11GA (or applicable) individual return form and the mandatory Statement of Assets and Liabilities (IT-10B/IT-10BB where applicable)
• e-Filing of the return through the NBR's e-Return system, or physical submission at the relevant Circle office if e-filing is not applicable to your case
• Digitally signed acknowledgment/receipt of submission for your records
• One round of review and correction if the NBR raises a query on the submitted return

What Is Not Included

The flat BDT 5,000 fee covers standard individual filings. It does not include TIN registration for first-time applicants (a separate, free NBR process Aeenx can also assist with), complex corporate tax filings involving audited financial statements, tax assessment appeals, or cases involving significant foreign income, multiple business entities, or ongoing NBR investigation — these are quoted separately based on complexity.

Contact Aeenx to confirm your case qualifies for the flat BDT 5,000 rate, or book your filing slot directly before the deadline.

Yes — for anyone holding a TIN or falling into one of the statutory mandatory categories, filing an income tax return every assessment year is a legal obligation under the Income Tax Act, 2023, not an optional courtesy. This is true even in years where no tax is actually due, because the return itself is the official record the NBR uses to track compliance.

A common misconception is that filing is only necessary if you owe tax. In reality, TIN holders whose income is below the taxable threshold must still submit a "nil" or minimum-tax return in most cases, because a TIN itself creates a continuing filing obligation once issued — it does not disappear just because your income is low that year.

Certain professionals and public-facing roles face mandatory filing regardless of income level, including doctors and lawyers registered with their professional councils, chartered accountants, engineers registered with the relevant institution, private university teachers, and directors of companies. Government tender applicants, import/export license holders, and firearm license holders are also required to submit proof of return filing (an acknowledgment receipt) as part of routine renewals.

The only taxpayers generally exempt from the filing requirement are those who have never registered for a TIN and do not fall into any of the mandatory categories listed above — though even they may need to file the moment a bank, employer, or government office requests a TIN for a transaction.

If you are unsure whether your specific situation legally requires filing this year, Aeenx can confirm your obligation in a short consultation before you decide to skip filing.

For individual taxpayers, the standard income year runs from 1 July to 30 June, and the return for that income year must generally be submitted by the following 30th of November (the "Tax Day" fixed by the NBR each year for individual and non-company assessees). Companies typically must file within a defined number of months after the end of their own income year, as specified by the NBR each fiscal year.

Extensions

Taxpayers who are unable to meet the deadline can apply to their tax Circle for a time extension before Tax Day, which the Deputy Commissioner of Taxes (DCT) may grant for a limited period, typically up to two months, occasionally longer in exceptional circumstances. An extension application must be filed before the original deadline — it cannot be requested retroactively after the deadline has passed.

Why Filing Early Matters

Filing well before the deadline avoids the last-minute congestion on the NBR e-Return portal, which frequently slows down or becomes temporarily inaccessible in the final days before Tax Day. It also gives you time to correct any discrepancies the system flags, and it ensures you receive your filing acknowledgment in time for any bank, visa, or tender deadline that depends on it.

Aeenx recommends starting the process at least two to three weeks before the deadline. Book your BDT 5,000 filing slot with Aeenx early to avoid the year-end rush and any late submission penalty.

The exact documents needed depend on your income sources, but the following covers the vast majority of individual filers.

Basic Identification

• TIN certificate
• National ID (NID) card
• Previous year's return acknowledgment (if you filed before)

Income Documents

• Salary certificate or statement from your employer, showing gross salary, allowances, and tax deducted at source
• Bank statements for all accounts held during the income year
• Business income records (for freelancers/proprietors): invoices, ledgers, or a simple profit-and-loss summary
• Rental income agreements, if you earn from let-out property
• Dividend or interest certificates from banks, savings instruments, or listed shares

Investment and Rebate Documents

• Proof of investment in savings certificates, DPS, or provident fund contributions
• Life insurance premium payment receipts
• Zakat payment receipts, where applicable, for eligible rebate calculation

Assets and Liabilities

• Details of property, vehicles, and other significant assets owned as of the last day of the income year
• Outstanding loan or liability statements, if any

Yes. The NBR operates an e-Return system that allows individual taxpayers to prepare, compute, and submit their income tax return entirely online, without visiting a tax Circle office in person. The system automatically calculates tax liability once income, exemptions, and investment details are entered correctly, and it generates an official digital acknowledgment upon submission.

While e-filing is available to most individual taxpayers, it is not yet universally mandatory for every category, and some taxpayers with more complex affairs — certain company filings, specific assessment years under review, or unusual income structures — may still need to file physically at their designated Circle office. The system also occasionally experiences downtime or slow processing near the Tax Day deadline, which is one reason filing early is advisable.

Common Challenges With Self-Filing Online

Although the portal is designed for self-service, many taxpayers find the process confusing in practice — correctly classifying income heads, applying the right investment rebate percentage, calculating minimum tax obligations correctly for their income bracket, and completing the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (IT-10B/IT-10BB) accurately are all common stumbling blocks. Errors on these forms can lead to NBR queries, delayed processing, or an incorrect tax liability calculation that either overpays or underpays what is actually owed.

Aeenx's BDT 5,000 package handles the entire online filing on your behalf, ensuring the correct income heads, rebate calculations, and asset disclosures are used from the start. Let Aeenx e-file your return correctly the first time instead of risking errors on the self-service portal.

Outside of Aeenx's flat-rate offer, income tax filing fees in Bangladesh vary widely depending on who prepares your return and how complex your income situation is.

Service Provider	Typical Fee Range (BDT)
Self-filing via NBR e-Return (no professional help)	0 (government fee-free, but time-intensive and error-prone)
Freelance tax preparer / individual consultant	2,000 – 8,000
Small accounting firm (salaried individual)	5,000 – 12,000
Established tax advisory firm	10,000 – 25,000+
Corporate tax return (with audited accounts)	20,000 – 1,00,000+
Aeenx flat-rate individual filing	5,000 (fixed, no hidden charges)

Note that filing itself involves no direct government fee — the NBR does not charge for submitting a return. What you pay a firm like Aeenx for is the professional time spent correctly computing your tax liability, applying every rebate you are entitled to, completing the assets and liabilities statement accurately, and handling the submission and any follow-up queries from the NBR.

Separately from the filing fee, if tax is actually due based on your income, you must pay that amount to the government treasury (typically via A-Chalan or online payment) — this tax payment is independent of and in addition to any professional preparation fee.

Aeenx's BDT 5,000 rate is fixed for standard individual cases with no hidden add-ons. Get a written quote confirming your case fits the flat rate before you commit.

Failing to file, or filing late, triggers concrete financial and administrative consequences under the Income Tax Act, 2023.

Late Filing Penalty

If you miss the Tax Day deadline without an approved extension, the Deputy Commissioner of Taxes can impose a penalty, generally calculated as a percentage of the tax payable, with a defined minimum amount even where no tax is due. Persistent non-filers can face escalating penalties in subsequent years.

Interest on Unpaid Tax

If tax is owed and remains unpaid past the deadline, interest accrues monthly on the outstanding amount until it is settled, in addition to any late filing penalty.

Loss of TIN-Dependent Services

Many essential services check your return-filing status before proceeding, including bank loan approvals, credit card renewals, vehicle registration and fitness renewal at BRTA, trade license renewal, passport and visa processing for certain countries, and participation in government tenders. Without a current return acknowledgment, these transactions can be delayed or refused outright.

Increased Audit Risk

Non-filers and habitually late filers are statistically more likely to be selected for detailed NBR scrutiny or audit in later years, since a gap in filing history is itself a red flag in the tax authority's risk-assessment process.

Legal Escalation for Persistent Default

In cases of continued non-compliance despite notices, the NBR can proceed to best-judgment assessment (estimating your tax liability without your input, often unfavorably) and, in serious cases, initiate legal proceedings.

None of these consequences are necessary if you file on time. Aeenx can file even a currently overdue return and advise on minimizing any applicable penalty.

This is one of the most common points of confusion for first-time taxpayers, and the distinction matters for compliance purposes.

TIN Certificate

A Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is a unique 12-digit identifier issued once, free of charge, by the NBR through its online registration system. It identifies you as a registered taxpayer in the system. Obtaining a TIN is a one-time registration event — it does not need to be renewed annually, and having one does not by itself mean you have paid or reported anything about your income for any specific year.

Income Tax Return

An income tax return is the annual (or assessment-year) declaration you file that reports your actual income, exemptions, tax computed, and assets and liabilities for that specific period. Filing a return is a recurring obligation — a new one is required every year you fall under a mandatory filing category, and it is the return acknowledgment, not the TIN certificate alone, that proves you are compliant for that particular year.

Why the Distinction Matters

Many people mistakenly believe that once they have a TIN, they are "done" with their tax obligations. In reality, the TIN is simply the gateway — the recurring legal requirement is filing a return every year thereafter. Banks, visa authorities, and government offices increasingly ask specifically for the current year's return acknowledgment, not just proof of TIN registration, when verifying tax compliance.

If you already have a TIN but have never filed a return, or have gaps in your filing history, Aeenx can help you catch up and get current before it affects a loan, visa, or renewal application.

The flat BDT 5,000 rate is specifically structured to serve the taxpayers who make up the majority of individual filers in Bangladesh, where income situations are relatively standard but the process still feels intimidating or time-consuming to handle alone.

Salaried Professionals

Employees at private companies, NGOs, banks, and multinational firms who receive a salary certificate and want their tax computed correctly — including all eligible investment rebates — without spending a weekend learning the NBR portal.

Freelancers and Remote Workers

Bangladeshi freelancers earning through platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or direct international clients often have irregular income and foreign remittances that require careful classification under the correct income head — a common area where self-filed returns go wrong.

Small Business Owners and Sole Proprietors

Shop owners, consultants, and small trading businesses that need their individual return filed alongside their trade license and TIN obligations, without the overhead of a full corporate accounting engagement.

First-Time Filers

Anyone filing for the first time — often after obtaining a TIN for a bank loan, visa, or car purchase — benefits from expert guidance to avoid the errors that commonly trigger NBR queries on early returns.

Overseas Bangladeshis With Local Income

Non-resident Bangladeshis who still hold local bank accounts, rental property, or investments in Bangladesh and need their local income properly declared, even while living abroad.

If your situation matches any of the above, you likely qualify for Aeenx's flat BDT 5,000 rate — reach out to confirm.

Yes, though the underlying principle — declaring income to the NBR annually — is the same. The forms, supporting documents, and compliance depth differ significantly between an individual return and a business or corporate return.

Individual Return (Salaried or Freelance)

Filed using the IT-11GA form, supported by a salary certificate or simple income summary, bank statements, and investment rebate proofs. This is the category Aeenx's BDT 5,000 flat fee is built for, and it typically requires no audited financial statements.

Sole Proprietorship Business Income

A sole proprietor reports business income as part of their individual return but must maintain a basic profit-and-loss statement and, depending on turnover, a statement of business assets. This can still fall within the standard flat-rate package if the business is small and the records are straightforward.

Registered Company (Private Limited)

A company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1994 must file a separate corporate return, generally supported by audited financial statements prepared by a chartered accountant, and is subject to corporate tax rates that differ from individual slab rates. Company filings involve additional schedules covering depreciation, disallowed expenses, and withholding tax reconciliation, and are quoted separately from the BDT 5,000 individual package due to their added complexity.

Partnership Firms

A registered partnership files its own firm-level return in addition to each partner separately declaring their share of firm income on their individual return.

If you're unsure whether your situation counts as "individual" or requires full corporate filing, Aeenx can clarify this for you and quote accordingly — many small proprietors are surprised to learn they still qualify for the flat individual rate.

Beyond simply avoiding penalties, timely and accurate tax filing carries real, practical advantages for individuals in Bangladesh.

Smoother Bank Loan and Credit Card Approval

Banks routinely request the last one to three years of return acknowledgments when assessing personal loan, home loan, or credit card applications. A clean, consistent filing history strengthens your application significantly.

Faster Visa Processing

Many embassies, particularly for the United States, United Kingdom, Schengen countries, and Gulf states, request recent tax return documents as part of financial proof for visa applications. A well-documented filing history supports a stronger visa case.

Legal Protection and Peace of Mind

A properly filed return is your legal record that income was declared honestly, protecting you against future disputes, audits, or best-judgment assessments where the NBR might otherwise estimate your liability unfavorably in the absence of your own filing.

Access to Tax Rebates

Filing allows you to formally claim rebates on qualifying investments such as Sanchayapatra (savings certificates), Deposit Pension Schemes (DPS), provident fund contributions, and life insurance premiums — directly reducing your tax liability. Without filing, these rebates simply go unclaimed.

Eligibility for Property, Vehicle, and Tender Processes

Land and property registration, vehicle purchase and BRTA registration, and government tender participation increasingly require proof of current tax return filing as a precondition.

Contribution to National Development

According to Wikipedia's overview of taxation, tax revenue is the primary mechanism through which governments fund public services and infrastructure — timely filing and payment directly supports Bangladesh's development budget.

Start capturing these benefits this year with a properly filed return through Aeenx.

Most NBR queries and delays stem from a small set of recurring, avoidable errors.

• Mismatched personal details. Name, NID number, or address on the return that doesn't exactly match your TIN registration or NID record commonly triggers a query and delays processing.
• Omitting bank interest or other minor income. Even small amounts of interest income or dividend income must be declared; leaving them out — even unintentionally — can create discrepancies if the NBR cross-checks bank data.
• Incomplete Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Failing to disclose property, vehicles, or investments accurately in the IT-10B/IT-10BB statement is one of the most common reasons returns are flagged for further scrutiny.
• Missing investment rebate documentation. Without proper receipts for DPS, savings certificates, or insurance premiums, you cannot claim the rebate — resulting in unnecessarily higher tax payable.
• Waiting until the last week before Tax Day. The e-Return portal slows significantly in the final days before the deadline, and any late-discovered document gap leaves no time to resolve it.
• Assuming a TIN alone satisfies your obligation. As explained earlier, a TIN is a one-time registration; filing a return is a separate, recurring annual requirement.
• Ignoring an overdue return from a previous year. Unfiled prior-year returns do not disappear — they compound penalties and complicate the current year's filing until resolved.

Aeenx's process is designed specifically to catch these issues before submission. Let Aeenx review your case so these common mistakes don't cost you time or money.

Aeenx removes the guesswork from income tax compliance by pairing NBR-familiar tax preparers with a transparent, fixed-price structure — so you know exactly what you'll pay and exactly what you'll receive before you commit.
