প্রবাসী আয়কর রিটার্ন: ই-মেইলে নিবন্ধন থেকে দাখিল পর্যন্ত

NBR has announced that taxpayers living abroad can now register on the e-Return portal by emailing their passport and other documents. After verification, the OTP and registration link are sent directly to their email — no local SIM needed. This saves expatriate taxpayers both time and hassle.

For the email application keep ready: a scanned copy of your passport, a copy of your NID if you have one, a copy of the visa stamp in your passport, an active email address, and a photo. Send the application to NBR’s e-Return support address: [email protected]. Documents should be clear, readable scans.

1. Email the required documents to [email protected]. 2. NBR verifies the documents. 3. On successful verification you receive the OTP and registration link by email. 4. Open the link and complete your e-Return account using your TIN. 5. Then file your return as usual. Verification may take a few working days.

Once your account is active, the filing steps are the same as for everyone — income, rebate, expenditure, assets, tax, and submit. As an expatriate, rules for reporting foreign income and remittances apply; the full process is detailed in our e-Return guide and the What Is e-Return article.

While online filing is mandatory for most individuals, Bangladeshi taxpayers living abroad are exempt from that requirement — they may file paper returns if they wish. Online is faster and easier, so using the new facility is the better choice.

If you already paid tax abroad on foreign income, a tax treaty (DTAA) between Bangladesh and that country may prevent double taxation. Rules vary by country and change over time — for your specific situation, professional advice is the safe route.
