Silver Prices in Bangladeshi Taka: What You Need to Know
Bangladesh has a growing appetite for precious metals, driven by limited formal investment options and a cultural affinity for gold and silver jewelry. Silver prices in Bangladeshi taka reflect the global XAG/USD rate adjusted for BDT/USD movements. The taka's managed float has generally seen gradual depreciation, boosting silver's long-term returns in local currency terms.
Tax, VAT & Import Duties
Silver imports into Bangladesh attract customs duty and VAT. The Bangladesh National Board of Revenue (NBR) levies 15% VAT on domestic silver sales. Import duty on silver bullion is typically 5-10%, with additional supplementary duty possible. There is no specific capital gains tax on precious metals for individuals, but business income from trading is taxable.
How Silver Is Traded in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's silver market is concentrated in Dhaka's Chawkbazar and Tanti Bazar, with additional centers in Chittagong and Sylhet. Silver jewelry is a staple of Bengali wedding traditions. The Bangladesh Bank does not offer silver investment products. Most silver enters the country through authorized import channels, though informal cross-border trade from India and Myanmar also contributes to supply.
How Silver Price in BDT Is Calculated
The silver price in Bangladeshi Taka is calculated by multiplying the global XAG/USD spot price by the current BDT/USD exchange rate. Today's rate: 1 USD = ১২২.৭১৭১ BDT.
Formula: Silver Price (BDT) = XAG/USD Spot Price × BDT/USD Rate
Example: $71.42 × 122.7171 = ৳৮,৭৬৩.৯৮ per troy ounce

What is the VAT on silver in Bangladesh?
Silver purchases in Bangladesh attract 15% VAT on domestic sales. Imported silver also faces 5-10% customs duty. These combined taxes make physical silver significantly more expensive than the international spot price, creating a notable domestic premium.

How does the Bangladeshi taka affect silver prices?
The taka has experienced gradual depreciation against the US dollar, which amplifies silver price increases in BDT terms. When the taka weakens by 5% and silver rises 10% in USD, Bangladeshi buyers see approximately a 15% increase in local currency. This makes silver an effective inflation and currency hedge.
