Bangladesh Rules That Shape Your Accounts
A short guide to the VAT, tax and company-law rules your accounts must meet. Open it when you need the detail.
General information for companies keeping accounts in Bangladesh. It is not legal or tax advice. Rules change, so PayrollBangladesh confirms the current position for your case in writing.
Companies must keep proper books and have them audited
The Companies Act 1994 requires companies registered in Bangladesh, and foreign companies with a place of business here, to keep books of account and have their annual accounts audited.
Financial statements follow IFRS as adopted in Bangladesh
Under the Financial Reporting Act 2015, the Financial Reporting Council sets reporting standards in line with IFRS. Public interest entities must apply IFRS as adopted in Bangladesh.
VAT returns moved to a quarterly cycle in 2026
The Finance Act 2026 replaced section 64 of the VAT and Supplementary Duty Act 2012. From 1 July 2026 the Mushak 9.1 return is due within 15 days after each quarter, and businesses may still choose to file monthly. The NBR is considering a return to monthly filing, so we confirm the current cycle every period.
Withholding and corporate tax run to fixed dates
The Income Tax Act 2023 requires withholding entities to file a monthly withholding tax return. Companies file their annual return by the 15th day of the seventh month after the income year ends, or by 15 September if that is later.
Sources: Companies Act 1994 (Laws of Bangladesh); Financial Reporting Act 2015 (Financial Reporting Council); VAT and Supplementary Duty Act 2012 as amended by the Finance Act 2026, and Income Tax Act 2023 (National Board of Revenue).
