Income tax varies from case to case. The unit of the employee is different from that of the businessman, but also that of the company and the artificial legal person.
The basic salary, special salary, bonus, expensive allowance of the working taxpayers are all taxable income. For example, if the basic salary of an employee is 30 thousand Tk per month, then at the end of the year the basic salary of those 12 months is added and the taxable income is 3 lakh 60 thousand Tk. If the two festivals are equal to the basic salary, an additional Tk 60,000 will be added. Even if there is expensive allowance, it has to be added in the tax return.
Employees will get tax exemption on house rent. The employee is tax free, whichever is less than 50 per cent of the basic salary or Tk 25,000 per month. Suppose the basic salary of an employee for the whole year is 3 lakh 60 thousand Tk. The employee will be able to get tax exemption up to 1 lakh 60 thousand Tk. In the same way, the medical allowance of that employee will get a discount of 10 percent of the basic salary or whichever is less than 1 lakh 20 thousand Tk. In that case, the employee will get tax exemption up to Tk 36,000.
If the employer pays the travel expenses along with the salary. There is no need to pay tax up to 30 thousand BDT. a year. However, if an employee gets a car from the office, then 5 percent of the basic salary or up to Tk. 60,000 per year will be tax free.
If you suffer from life-threatening diseases such as heart, kidney, eye, liver and cancer, the amount of money your office pays for surgery is completely tax-free. However, the shareholder director of a company will not get this facility.
Many employees receive money at risk from their office's Workers Participation Fund. Even if you get Tk. 50,000 from such fund, it is not taxable.
Many companies pay their employees cash in return for leave. Cash payment for such leave is also tax free. However, it should be less than 60 thousand BDT. a year. Up to two and a half crore Tk. tax-free on gratuity after retirement.
The full income will not be taxed on rent. If you rent a house, you will get a discount of up to 25 percent of the annual income by showing the cost of repair and maintenance. In case of commercial rent, the rate is 30 percent. If the flat is not rented in any month, it should be excluded. Apart from this, municipal tax, land revenue, housing installment money will be excluded.
