The personalised e-Return incorporates, besides other details, the names of directors and shareholders according to the Registrar of Companies, the income tax payments for the year and a specific key unique to the company and may only be used for electronic filing.

The e-Return includes a number of verification checks that indicate to the Tax Practitioner any possible mistakes in calculations and legislative or accounting principles that may result in additional taxes for the taxpayer. One of the main advantages of e-Return is that its completion may be carried out offline, thus reducing the connection costs of filling out this multiple page document. Companies may apply for their personalised e-Return through their tax representative.

The Inland Revenue Department uses the information provided to process the Income Tax Return and Self Assessment in accordance with the Income Tax Acts and subsidiary legislation. We may check information provided by you, or information about you provided by a third party, with other information held by us.

We will not disclose information about you to anyone outside the Inland Revenue unless permitted by law. The Inland Revenue Department treats your personal information in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2001 (Cap 440) to protect your privacy. Any queries may be addressed to The Data Controller, Inland Revenue Department, Floriana FRN 0170.
