Dear Sir,

Regarding the determination of fees/charges for online income tax payment.

In order to facilitate the filing of returns and tax compliance for the fiscal year 2024-25, the National Board of Revenue opened the e-Return system for taxpayers on 09 September, 2024. Taxpayers can pay income tax through the e-Return system via internet banking, card payment, and Mobile Financial Services (MFS) / Payment Service Provider (PSP) wallets. Now, with the aim of further encouraging taxpayers and facilitating online income tax payment, the fees/charges for paying income tax through the e-Return system via card payment, internet banking, and MFS/PSP wallets are determined as follows:

a) For transactions up to BDT 25,000/- (Twenty-five Thousand) using cards issued in Bangladesh and internet banking, a maximum of BDT 20/- (Twenty) per transaction (inclusive of VAT) may be collected from the customer; and for transactions above BDT 25,000/- (Twenty-five Thousand), a maximum of BDT 50/- (Fifty) per transaction (inclusive of VAT) may be collected;

b) For transactions using MFS/PSP wallets, a maximum of 1% or BDT 30/- (Thirty) per transaction (inclusive of VAT), whichever is lower, may be collected from the customer;

c) No chargeback shall be applicable against this transaction.

This directive will come into effect immediately.

Yours faithfully,

(Rafeza Akter Kanta)
