Bangladesh operates a progressive income tax system with rates ranging from 0% to 30%, administered by the National Board of Revenue (NBR). As one of the world's fastest-growing economies, Bangladesh has transformed from primarily garment manufacturing into a diversified economy with a growing IT and services sector. The tax-free threshold of BDT 400,000 (~$3,640), effective 1 July 2026 under the Finance Act 2026, provides relief for lower earners, with higher thresholds for women and seniors 65+ (BDT 425,000) and disabled persons (BDT 500,000). The top rate of 30% remains competitive regionally. A flat minimum tax of BDT 5,000 applies regardless of calculated liability. The IT sector enjoys various incentives including tax holidays for Hi-Tech Park companies.
