Common questions about Paperless. For the full plain-language account of what Paperless can and cannot do, see How Paperless works.
What is Paperless?
Paperless is an AI research assistant for Bangladesh tax and regulatory law, built by ACE Advisory. You ask a question in English or Bangla and get a plain-language answer with a citation to the exact section, SRO or circular it came from.
Who builds Paperless?
ACE Advisory, a tax and regulatory advisory firm in Dhaka, Bangladesh. ACE professionals structure how the platform reads and organises the law, reading each amendment as it is issued.
Is Paperless free?
Paperless is free to start. Create an account at getpaperless.ai and ask your first questions at no cost.
Is Paperless related to Paperless-ngx or the paperless-ai project?
No. Paperless-ngx is an open-source document management system, and paperless-ai is a community extension for it. Paperless at getpaperless.ai is an unrelated product by ACE Advisory focused on Bangladesh tax and regulatory law. It is also unrelated to document scanning apps named Paperless AI on app stores.
What law does Paperless cover?
Bangladesh income tax, VAT and supplementary duty, and customs: the Income Tax Act 2023, the VAT and SD Act 2012 and the Customs Act 2023, with the SROs, NBR circulars and orders issued under them and each year’s Finance Act. The library also holds 43 double taxation treaties, the Companies Act 1994, the import and export policy orders, and the excise, stamp, gift tax and travel tax laws. It is updated as amendments are issued, and coverage grows over time.
Can Paperless answer Bangladesh income tax questions, like rates, TDS and rebates?
Yes. Ask about income tax rates, slabs, TDS, rebates, exemptions or return filing rules and Paperless answers from the statute in force, citing the exact section, SRO or circular. Figures are computed by a deterministic engine, calculated to the taka rather than estimated.
Is Paperless a legal AI for Bangladesh?
Paperless is a legal research AI for Bangladesh regulatory law, with tax at its core. Today it covers income tax, VAT and supplementary duty, and customs, with their SROs and NBR circulars, plus company law and import and export policy; the rest of the regulatory framework, such as permits, is being added area by area. It also handles general work: drafting emails, letters and client notes, and making documents, slides and spreadsheets.
Can I ask questions in Bangla?
Yes. Paperless understands and answers in both English and Bangla.
Why not just ask ChatGPT or another general AI about Bangladesh tax law?
A general AI answers from training data that may be months or years old, and gives you nothing to check. Bangladesh tax law changes every year with the Finance Act. Paperless answers from the statute in force now and cites the exact provision, so every answer can be verified against the law itself.
Does Paperless give professional tax or legal advice?
No. Paperless is an assistive research tool. It does not file returns or act on your behalf, and it does not replace advice from a qualified Income Tax Practitioner, Chartered Accountant, Cost and Management Accountant, or Advocate. Always check the cited source and consult a professional about your specific situation.
Can Paperless read my documents?
Yes. Upload a document and ask questions about it. Uploads are used only to generate your answer and are never used to train third-party AI models. How data is handled is documented at getpaperless.ai/trust.
How do I know an answer is correct?
Every answer carries a citation to the specific provision it is grounded in, so you can read the source yourself in seconds. AI answers can still contain mistakes, which is exactly why the citation is always there. Wrong answers can be reported to info@aceadvisory.biz.
