The basic exemption is BDT 350,000 (BDT 400,000 for women and individuals aged 65+; BDT 475,000 for persons with disabilities). Residents are taxed on worldwide income. A minimum tax applies based on the taxpayer's location (BDT 5,000 in Dhaka/Chittagong, BDT 4,000 in city corporations, BDT 3,000 elsewhere).

Residency Rule
An individual present in Bangladesh for 183 days or more in an income year is a resident. Residents are taxed on worldwide income.
Additional Notes
Bangladesh imposes a surcharge on taxpayers with net wealth exceeding BDT 4 crore, ranging from 10-35% of the tax liability. This effectively functions as a wealth-related surtax.
