Tax, VAT & RJSC consultant in Chattogram
Unidara Associates Chattogram is our head office: 2nd Floor, Noor Chamber, 34 Agrabad C/A, in the middle of the Agrabad Commercial Area. From here our income tax, VAT and RJSC desks look after salaried people, landlords, traders and companies across the city, from Patenga and CEPZ in the south to Bahaddarhat, Kalurghat and Sitakunda in the north.
Every filing is checked by a licensed Income Tax Practitioner before it goes in, you approve it first, and you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What our Chattogram office does and who it serves
The office runs three desks under one roof. The income tax desk prepares individual and company returns, registers e-TINs, replies to notices and takes appeals to the Taxes Appeal Zone and the Tribunal. The VAT desk registers BINs, files the monthly Mushak 9.1 return and supports clients in VAT audits and appeals. The corporate desk handles RJSC company and partnership work, annual returns and changes in directors or shares.
Most of the people who walk in fall into a few groups: importers and exporters, C&F and shipping agents, Khatunganj and Chaktai wholesalers, garment and accessories suppliers, steel and re-rolling businesses, pharmacies, restaurants, online sellers, landlords and salaried professionals. Many of them deal with more than one office at once, and keeping the tax, VAT and RJSC papers consistent is a large part of what we do.
Which government office handles your file in Chattogram
Knowing the right office saves weeks. These are the offices our Chattogram clients deal with most; we confirm which one applies to you from your e-TIN, BIN or company records before anything is filed.
- Taxes Zones 1 to 6, Chattogram — individual and most business returns. Your zone and circle come from the address on your e-TIN.
- Large Taxpayer Unit, Chattogram branch — some large company files sit here instead of a zone.
- Taxes Appeal Zone, Chattogram — first appeals against an assessment or penalty.
- Taxes Appellate Tribunal, Division Bench, Chittagong — second appeals, heard in the city.
- Customs, Excise & VAT Commissionerate, Chattogram — BIN, monthly returns and VAT audits.
- Customs, Excise & VAT Appeal Commissionerate, Chattogram — first VAT appeals; the tribunal stage is in Dhaka.
- RJSC Chattogram divisional office — company and partnership filings for Chattogram businesses.
What to bring or send
You do not need a full file to start. For a first conversation these are enough, and each task page lists the complete set:
- National ID, and your e-TIN certificate if you have one
- Last year’s return or acknowledgement, if you filed
- For a business: trade licence, BIN certificate and bank statements
- For a company: certificate of incorporation, MoA and AoA, and the latest audited accounts
- Any notice or order you have received — every page, with the envelope or email showing when it arrived
How a file moves through our office
The steps are the same on every desk. How long each one takes depends mainly on how quickly the papers come in and, for registrations and appeals, on the government office — so we give you a realistic estimate for your case rather than a promise.
- 1You send the papers on WhatsApp or email, or bring them to Noor Chamber.
- 2The desk that owns the work reads them, lists anything missing and gives you a fixed quote.
- 3We prepare the return, application or reply and explain it to you in Bangla or English.
- 4A licensed Income Tax Practitioner checks it; you approve it.
- 5We file it, send you the acknowledgement and diarise the next date.
Dates Chattogram clients most often miss
Missing a date rarely ends the matter, but it usually costs money or an option. The ones we see most:
- Mushak 9.1 VAT return — by the 15th of the following month, every month, including months with no sales.
- Individual income tax return — under section 170 of the Income Tax Act 2023, filing from 1 July to 30 September earns a rebate, 1 October to 31 December is neutral, and later filing within the tax year adds extra tax.
- Company return — the 15th day of the ninth month after the income year ends (15 March for a 30 June year-end).
- First income tax appeal — 45 days from the demand notice (section 287); Tribunal appeal — 60 days from the appeal order (section 291).
Fees
We do not publish a price list, because two returns or two appeals are rarely the same size. Once we have seen your papers we give you one fixed fee in writing, and that is what you pay. Government fees and deposits — for example the Tk 200 fee for a first income tax appeal — are paid by challan in your name, and we show them separately so you can see where every taka goes.
