The government of Bangladesh is planning to raise the tax-free income threshold for individuals to Tk 400,000 for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 fiscal years, aiming to ease the tax burden on low-income earners. At the same time, it may withdraw the proposal to make Tax Identification Numbers (TIN) mandatory for opening bank accounts, following criticism that such a rule could hinder financial inclusion.
According to official sources, the tax-free income limit could further increase to Tk 450,000 in 2028–29 and 2029–30, and to Tk 500,000 in 2030–31. These revisions may be included before the passage of the Finance Bill 2026 in the National Parliament. The current tax-free limit is Tk 350,000, while the finance minister had earlier proposed Tk 375,000 for 2026–27.
Other considerations include reducing the capital gains tax on gold sales from 15% to 5%, maintaining a 0.2% advance income tax on business-to-business transactions, and lowering the corporate tax rate for private universities and ICT-based institutions from 10% to 5%.
