WHAT ARE TIN AND E-TIN IN BANGLADESH?

The Bangladesh tax authorities implemented a Tax Identity Number (TIN) system to trace tax payments to the government. This identification number is issued to either an individual or a Bangladeshi business.

Applicants will receive a TIN certificate from the National Board of Revenue (NBR) on successful registration. In Bangladesh, one can apply to NBR for a TIN certificate by physically visiting the branch or online. If an applicant obtains the TIN certificate in Bangladesh electronically, it is called E-TIN.

Although an E-TIN certificate is not mandatory for a corporate bank account opening, it is required if the applicant wants to apply for a bank loan. The government offers several incentives and rewards to various professionals and small business owners at various times, none of which are accessible without TIN.

Non-resident applicants are not entitled to apply through Bangladesh’s online tax registration system. Private limited companies must have a local registered office address to qualify for the application for an E-TIN.
