The government of Dominica on Thursday revised the final date of filing income tax returns. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit stated that the extension is given after repeated requests from the public, and the new due date for filing these returns is May 31, 2022.
Earlier, the date of filing return was March 31, 2022; however, Prime Minister Skerrit received several requests to consider an extension of the income tax filing and payment due date by one to two months because of the negative impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
PM stated that his government extended the date because it continues to listen to the concerns of every Dominican citizen and resident.
The additional time will allow businesses to complete their paperwork as well as amass additional funds to meet their obligations, "We are happy that we are in a position to assist," said the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister stated that COVID-19 had a negative impact on countries across the world. Governments, businesses, and individuals have all been affected.
"We in Dominica are no exception. It is a prolonged storm that we have to weather collectively. This measure, I am sure, will bring some relief, particularly to business owners, as together we devise ways to continue to build a resilient, sustainable economy and country. Let us continue to work hand-in-hand to succeed." stated Prime Minister.
"As a Government that continues to listen to the concerns of every Dominican citizen and resident, we have therefore taken a decision to extend the filing and payment due date for income tax returns and payments due today, March 31, 2022, for Income Year January 2021 to December 2021. The new due date for filing these returns is May 31, 2022." Prime Minister added.
Furthermore, he also stated that Dominicans have overwhelmingly embraced the news of the DOMLEC take-over by the government; and are looking forward to playing their part in the further development and growth of the Company.
