Mutual fund tax benefit

Invest up to ৳75 lakh in mutual funds — and cut your tax

From tax year 2026-27, money you put into mutual funds counts toward your investment rebate up to ৳75 lakh a year. You get back 10% of what you invest as a tax rebate, as long as it stays within 3% of your taxable income and ৳7.5 lakh.

10%of your mutual fund investment comes back as a tax rebate — on top of the fund’s own returns.
  • Professionally managed and diversified across many companies
  • Capital gains on listed securities are tax-free for individuals up to ৳50 lakh
  • Buy listed mutual funds through your Mika Securities BO account

Taxable income Invest Tax rebate
৳10 lakh ৳3 lakh ৳30,000
৳25 lakh ৳7.5 lakh ৳75,000
৳50 lakh ৳15 lakh ৳1,50,000
৳1 crore ৳30 lakh ৳3,00,000
৳2.5 crore + ৳75 lakh ৳7,50,000

The investment shown is the most that increases your rebate at each income level (30% of taxable income), for tax year 2026-27. Investing beyond it doesn’t add to the rebate. The full ৳75 lakh earns the maximum ৳7.5 lakh rebate when taxable income is ৳2.5 crore or more.

How the rebate works

Your rebate is the lowest of three

15% in tax year 2025-26

    FAQ

    Tax questions

    Which rules apply to the return I’m filing now?

    The return due by 30 November 2026 is for tax year 2025-26 (July 2025 – June 2026), so the older rules apply: 15% rebate, up to ৳10 lakh, and a ৳3.5 lakh tax-free limit for general taxpayers. The new rules apply to income and investments from 1 July 2026. Switch the calculator to 2025-26 to check last year.

    What is the ৳75 lakh mutual fund limit?

    From tax year 2026-27, up to ৳75 lakh you invest in mutual funds in a year can count as eligible investment for the rebate. Your rebate is still 10% of eligible investment, limited to 3% of taxable income and ৳7.5 lakh.

    Why doesn’t investing more always increase my rebate?

    Because the rebate can’t be more than 3% of your taxable income. In 2026-27 that limit is reached when your investment equals 30% of your taxable income. The calculator shows that amount for you.

    Do shares I already own count?

    No. Only new eligible investment made during the tax year counts. Buying shares or mutual fund units between 1 July and 30 June counts for that year.

    How do I show my investment to the tax office?

    Keep your BO account portfolio statement and purchase confirmations. Our team can provide the statements you need for your return.

    Is this calculator my final tax?

    No. It’s an estimate for individual residents. It doesn’t include surcharge on net wealth, tax already deducted at source, or every special case. Please confirm with a tax adviser.
