FAQs :
As a retiree do I still have to file an income tax return?
Every individual is liable to tax once that individual is engaged in any taxable activity. There is no age limit on paying of taxes. However, where the individual only source of income is from a source exempt from tax, the taxpayer is not required to file a tax return.

Can I make changes to my return after it is filed?
Yes, a taxpayer can request in writing for changes to be made to the Tax return after it is filed.

I am still required to pay a late payment penalty if I have received an extension to file my income
An extension of time for filing a return does not relieve one from the obligation to pay taxes due and therefore outstanding taxes will attract a late payment penalty of 10% of the outstanding tax due. Interest will also accrue on the outstanding balance.

I am unable to meet the deadline for filing my Income Tax Return. What Can I do to avoid penalty?
You may apply to the Comptroller in writing, requesting an extension of time for filing, stating the reason for the request and the intended filing date.

It must be noted however that an extension of time must be requested prior to the due date. The department would be grateful if these requests are made at least one month before the due date.

Where the tax fails to file the tax return by the extended time, the time granted becomes null and void; and the original due date for filing is now applicable.

I live overseas and have income from Dominica. Do I have to file an Income Tax Return?
