Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions. Clear answers.
Answers to common questions from company directors, SME owners, foreign investors, and individual taxpayers in Bangladesh.
We serve Private and Public Limited Companies, SMEs, family-owned businesses, RMG and industrial manufacturers, commercial importers/exporters, IT/ITES firms, freelancers, local and international NGOs, foreign-invested subsidiaries/branch offices, and individual taxpayers across Bangladesh.
Under the Companies Act 1994, every Private and Public Limited Company registered with RJSC must have its annual financial statements audited by a Chartered Accountant firm in practice. Additionally, the Income Tax Act 2023, NGO Affairs Bureau (NGOAB), FRC, and commercial banks mandate audited financial statements for specified entities and turnover thresholds.
Generally, you will need your 12-digit e-TIN Certificate, prior year tax return and PSR, full July–June bank statements for all accounts, employer salary and TDS certificates (if salaried), Sanchayapatra/FDR certificates, BO account statements, proof of eligible tax-rebate investments (such as DPS or Treasury Bonds), and documentation for any property or vehicle purchases/sales.
Under the Value Added Tax and Supplementary Duty Act 2012, every VAT-registered entity must submit its monthly Mushak 9.1 return on or before the 15th day of the following month. Even if a business has zero sales or purchases during a month, a “Nil” Mushak 9.1 return must still be filed on time to avoid statutory non-filing penalties.
Once Name Clearance is obtained and all subscriber NIDs, e-TINs, and signed Memorandum & Articles of Association (MoA/AoA) are ready (along with an AD Bank Encashment Certificate if there are foreign shareholders), RJSC incorporation typically takes 3 to 7 business days, followed by 5 to 10 business days for post-incorporation e-TIN, Trade License, and e-BIN setup.
Yes. Foreign investors can incorporate a 100% foreign-owned Private Limited Subsidiary or a Joint Venture at RJSC (in most sectors) by remitting paid-up capital through an Authorized Dealer bank. Alternatively, foreign parent companies can establish a Liaison Office or Branch Office with permission from the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) and reporting to Bangladesh Bank.
We follow a transparent, written fee structure in BDT (৳) aligned with the scope, complexity, transaction volume, and professional time required, in keeping with ICAB guidelines. Before starting any work, we issue a formal Engagement Letter detailing the scope of services, deliverables, statutory government fees (if any), and professional fee milestones.
Client confidentiality is a binding obligation under the ICAB Code of Ethics. All documents shared with M.S. Salekin & Co. are restricted strictly to the principal CA and assigned engagement personnel, never disclosed to third parties without your explicit written authorization or legal compulsion, and may be covered by a formal Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) upon request.
