The Bangladeshi government has proposed tax incentives to encourage employment of people with disabilities and transgender individuals. Announced in the proposed budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, companies will be eligible for tax rebates if they hire at least 10% of their workforce, or a minimum of 25 employees, from these communities. The proposed benefit allows qualifying organizations to deduct 5% of their payable tax, or a portion related to employee salaries. This initiative aims to increase employment opportunities for marginalized groups within the country. The proposal was presented to the National Parliament on Thursday, June 11th. Details regarding the full extent of the tax relief are expected to be released alongside the finalized budget. This move signals a commitment to inclusivity and economic empowerment for vulnerable populations.
