Fifteen times. That is how much bigger the mutual fund tax rebate ceiling just got in Bangladesh, from ৳5 lakh to ৳75 lakh. If your taxable income is ৳20 lakh a year, that alone could mean up to ৳60,000 off your tax bill. At the top end, the rebate goes as high as ৳7,50,000.
The most important change is that shares and mutual funds carry the same tax advantage now, both qualify for a rebate up to ৳75 lakh. But they are not the same kind of decision. Buying individual shares means researching companies yourself and living with the risk of any one of them going wrong. A mutual fund spreads that same money across a professionally managed portfolio, so no single company's bad year decides your outcome.
That is especially true for a fixed income fund. Our Fixed Income Fund holds mostly government securities and other fixed income instruments, qualifies for the full rebate just like an equity fund, and carries far less exposure to stock market swings. If you want the tax benefit without taking on stock market risk, that combination is worth a look.
We broke down exactly how the rebate is calculated, what counts toward it, and how much you might be leaving unclaimed. Full guide below.
