Income Tax

Income Tax Filing and Advisory in Bangladesh

Income tax is the direct tax that individuals and companies in Bangladesh pay on their income to the National Board of Revenue (NBR). HRBD prepares your return, computes what you owe, files it with the NBR under the Income Tax Act 2023, and handles assessments, so your tax is correct and filed on time.
