More than 4 million taxpayers have filed their e-returns online for the 2025-26 tax year so far. The National Board of Revenue (NBR) said that over 4 million taxpayers have registered with the e-return system since August 4.

A month-wise analysis shows that 251,784 taxpayers filed e-returns in August 2025, 301,302 in September, 454,076 in October, 1,040,472 in November, 978,198 in December, 655,363 in January 2026, 294,987 in February, and 36,700 in the first four days of March.

Of the returns filed, 2,866,618 are male and 1,136,003 female taxpayers, while 1,610,750 males and 478,566 females have shown income in the salary category.

The number of taxpayers in various income categories based on assets, house rent and taxable income is significant. In addition, 39,363 males and 11,065 females have already paid the surcharge.

According to a special order by the NBR, online return filing is mandatory for all categories of taxpayers, except senior taxpayers above 65 years of age, physically disabled or special needs taxpayers, Bangladeshi taxpayers residing abroad, legal representatives of deceased taxpayers and foreign nationals working in Bangladesh.

Bangladeshi taxpayers residing abroad can also easily file e-returns through the OTP and Registration Link received in the e-mail. At the same time, the authorized representative on behalf of the taxpayer can file the return in the same way.

Taxpayers can pay taxes online by entering their income, expenses, assets and liabilities directly into the e-return system without any paperwork. If there is any mistake in the submitted return, it can be filed in a revised form within 180 days.

More than 56,000 taxpayers have already filed revised returns.

For any problem related to e-returns, the NBR call center can be called at 09643717171.

In addition, written solutions to problems are available through the website www.etaxnbr.gov.bd and direct services are available at the e-return help desk in all tax regions of the country.

The NBR said that all taxpayers are requested to file their income tax returns for the tax year 2025-26 by March 31, 2026.
