Accountants for Non-Resident Bangladeshis (NRB)
UK and Bangladesh expertise under one roof, for business owners with interests in both countries.
If your life and business span Bangladesh and the UK, you need an accountant who understands both. WPC Accountants was built around exactly this. Our team is qualified in the UK and Bangladesh and works across both systems every day, so whether you run a company in Dhaka and another in London, invest in UK property from Bangladesh, or have just moved to the UK, we keep your affairs in order on both sides and make sure you never pay tax twice on the same income.
Built for the UK-Bangladesh community
Business owners with a company in Bangladesh and a company in the UK
Bangladeshis setting up a UK company from overseas
NRBs investing in UK property and letting it out from abroad
UK-based Bangladeshis with income, property or a business back home
People moving between Bangladesh and the UK who need their tax handled on both sides
Families and entrepreneurs sending or receiving money across the two countries
Two countries, one team
Most UK accountants only know the UK system. Most Bangladesh accountants only know Bangladesh. We do both, which means nothing gets lost in translation between your two sets of books.
UK System
- Qualified (ICAEW/ACCA)
- HMRC compliance & advisory
Bangladesh System
BD- Qualified (ICAB)
- Cultural understanding & local network
One point of contact
Seamless coordination across borders
Qualified in both systems
Our accountants hold UK qualifications (such as ICAEW and ACCA) and Bangladesh qualifications (ICAB), so we understand both audit and accounting standards.
One point of contact
No more explaining your UK affairs to a Bangladesh accountant, or the other way round. We join the two sides up for you.
Cultural understanding
We understand how Bangladeshi family businesses and cross-border arrangements really work, in your language.
Part of the WPC Group
When you also need visas or immigration help, our colleagues at Work Permit Cloud are right there.

Never pay tax twice on the same income
Income
Taxed in UK- Relief Applied
Income
Taxed in BD
The UK and Bangladesh have a treaty for this. The 1979 UK-Bangladesh Double Taxation Convention means income taxed in one country can be relieved in the other, so you are not taxed twice on the same money. Getting it right takes an accountant who understands both systems. We claim the right relief for you and keep the paperwork straight.
Investing in UK property from Bangladesh
Many NRBs own UK property and let it out while living abroad. UK rental income is taxable here, and there are special rules for landlords based overseas under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme. We register you, prepare your returns, claim your allowable costs and, where too much tax has been withheld, reclaim it.
We understand the Bangladesh side too
Because our team is qualified in Bangladesh as well, we understand how things work at home: the National Board of Revenue (NBR), company matters at the RJSC and Bangladesh audit and accounting standards. Whether you need us to work directly on your Bangladesh accounts or to coordinate smoothly with your accountant in Dhaka, Sylhet or Chattogram, we make sure both sides line up. This means your UK and Bangladesh figures tell one consistent story, which matters for banks, investors and the tax authorities in both countries.
A common trap: non-residents cannot file online
If you are non-resident, HMRC does not let you file your Self Assessment through its normal online service. You have to use the special residence pages (the SA109) with paper filing or approved software, and the paper deadline is earlier, on 31 October. This catches a lot of people out. We handle it correctly for you.

Frequently asked questions
- You usually pay UK tax on your UK income, such as rent from a UK property, UK business profits or UK wages, even if you live in Bangladesh. Whether you also get a UK Personal Allowance depends on your circumstances. We work out exactly what is due and claim any relief you are entitled to.
- Usually not on the same income. The UK and Bangladesh have a double taxation treaty, so tax paid in one country can be relieved in the other. Because we understand both systems, we make sure the relief is claimed correctly.
- Yes. We form your UK limited company from overseas, register it with HMRC and handle the accounts and tax. You do not need to be in the UK to own or run a UK company, and we guide you through the requirements.
- You need to declare the UK rental income to HMRC under the rules for non-resident landlords. We register you, file your returns, claim your allowable costs and reclaim any tax that has been over-withheld.
- Our team is qualified in Bangladesh, so we understand the NBR, RJSC and Bangladesh audit standards. Depending on your needs, we can work on your Bangladesh accounts directly or coordinate closely with your local accountant, so both sides match.
