The launch of the Tax Authorities online portal on November 1 2022, laid the foundation for this transition. Since January 1 2024, payroll tax filings can be submitted through this portal, and income tax filings will follow for the 2025 tax year. Initially introduced for filing Value Added Tax (VAT) returns, the portal has since been enhanced with advanced functionalities and will increasingly play a critical role across various types of taxes.

From now on, profit taxpayers have the obligation to submit their declarations digitally. This also means that paper submissions are no longer an option. The Tax Department will no longer provide the profit tax declaration form in paper format and will not accept requests for it.

In short, the digitalisation of income tax underlines the Tax and Customs Administration’s commitment to improving its services and contributing to a future-proof tax administration. This progress will make the process more efficient, increase accuracy and reduce administrative burdens.
