Answers to common questions for NRB taxpayers
Who is a Non-Resident Bangladeshi (NRB)?
An NRB is a Bangladeshi citizen who resides abroad for more than 182 days in a tax year, either for employment, business, or other purposes. NRBs are subject to specific tax rules under the Income Tax Ordinance 1984.
Do I need to pay tax in Bangladesh if I'm an NRB?
Yes. If you earn income in Bangladesh — including rental income, capital gains from property, business income, or income from Bangladesh sources — you are liable to pay tax in Bangladesh, regardless of where you reside.
How do I register as an NRB taxpayer?
Create an account on this portal, complete the KYC with your TIN/NID/Passport, and update your country of residence. Once verified, you can file returns and pay taxes from abroad.
What payment methods are supported?
We support international cards (Visa/Mastercard), bank transfers (SWIFT/IBAN), mobile financial services (bKash, Nagad), and BEFTN for transfers from Bangladesh bank accounts.
Can I claim foreign tax credit?
Yes. Under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) that Bangladesh has signed with over 30 countries, you can claim credit for taxes paid abroad against your Bangladesh tax liability.
When is the annual return filing deadline?
For NRBs, the return filing deadline is 30 September following the end of the fiscal year (30 June). Late filing attracts a penalty of ৳ 5,000 or 10% of tax due, whichever is higher.
