Your income tax return and self-assessment is to include all the income that you are required by law to declare as well as any allowable deductions in respect of the current year of assessment.

Your income tax return is to be completed and submitted to IRD by not later than 30th June, and thus avoiding being charged additional tax for late submission of the return. You are to ensure also that all the tax due is paid by the 30th June, so as to avoid being charged interest on the outstanding balance.

Benefits of using IR Services on-line:
A series of checks and warnings will prompt you to adjust any errors that might render your tax return inaccurate. These include validations against information held in the Inland Revenue systems provided by your payors, such as your employer or pension providers.

When you file your income tax over the Internet, the Department will calculate the tax on the amounts that you have entered in the on-line tax return. You will be able to settle any outstanding balance on-line using the Government Payment Gateway (GPG) or Internet Banking and your return will be acknowledged on line as soon as you confirm it.

Information is processed automatically without any user intervention. It will save you time, as you will no longer need to queue at the department to file your return or to pay any due tax.
