How মোটরযানের অগ্রিম কর (motor vehicle advance tax) in Bangladesh is calculated

Section 153 of the **Income Tax Act 2023** makes every motor vehicle owner pay advance tax before the vehicle is registered or its fitness renewed — by 30 June of each later year when it covers several years. The **Finance Act 2026** (s.85) replaced the tables from 1 July 2026: **৳25,000** up to 1500cc, **৳50,000** to 2000cc, **৳75,000** to 2500cc, **৳2,00,000** to 3000cc, **৳2,50,000** to 3500cc, **৳4,00,000** to 4500cc and **৳5,00,000** above; a microbus or double-cabin pickup pays **৳40,000**. An electric car pays **৳25,000** up to 200 kW, ৳50,000 to 300 kW, ৳75,000 to 400 kW and **৳1,00,000** above.

An individual who owns more than one vehicle, alone or jointly, pays **50% more** for each one beyond the first. The Finance Act 2026 (Schedule 2 Part 3) also charges an **environmental surcharge** on each car **in your own name** except the one with the lowest rate — **৳25,000** up to 1500cc, ৳50,000 to 2000cc, ৳75,000 to 2500cc, ৳1,50,000 to 3000cc, ৳2,00,000 to 3500cc and **৳3,50,000** above. A second 2000cc car therefore costs ৳75,000 + ৳50,000 = **৳1,25,000** a year. The surcharge table is by engine cc, so the page does not compute it for an electric car, and buses, trucks, pickup vans and motorcycles are outside it.

The advance tax is not refundable and counts against your income tax (s.153(3ক), (7)). It is not collected on vehicles of the Government, diplomats and development partners, gazetted war-wounded freedom fighters or people exempt from filing a return, nor on commercial vehicles and motorcycles (s.153(5), (8)). BRTA registration, fitness and tax-token fees and the wealth surcharge are not modelled. Estimate, not tax advice.
