Tax return helper
For the 2026-27 tax year, file online at etaxnbr.gov.bd by 31 December 2026 to pay no extra tax. Filing from January to March 2027 adds 2% (at least 3,000 taka) and from April to June adds 5% (at least 5,000). If your income is below the tax-free limit you still file a real return with zero tax, never an all-zero one.

What to type into the NBR e-return
Work out your tax first. The table fills itself.Open the income tax calculator
Zero-tax return
Your income is above the tax-free limit, so a zero-tax return does not apply to you this year.
- Enter your true salary, assets and expenses. The portal works out zero tax itself.
- Never type zeros for income, assets or expenses you really have.
- Download the acknowledgement. It is your proof of return.
NBR warning: an all-zero return that hides real income or assets is illegal and can mean up to 5 years in prison. Zero tax is fine. Zero everything is not.
Important: this tool cannot file for you. Only you can submit, inside NBR's portal, with your own TIN and phone. Never share your portal password with anyone.
Made a mistake? NBR lets you send a revised return within 180 days.
Paper return: allowed only for age 65+, certified disability, Bangladeshis abroad and a few others.
