Taxpayers are being called upon to avoid the rush and file in their income tax returns before March 31, which is the deadline set for filing.
Over the years, while some file their returns early, several have failed to avoid the last minute dash.
With less than ten days before the deadline, the Inland Revenue Division is reporting that several have already filed their returns.
“We have had a number of persons filing tax returns so far, but we still have quite a bit of people who wait for the last day of filing and it’s really a rush,” said Irving Williams, comptroller at the Inland Revenue Division.
People should file in their returns at Inland Revenue Division located on High Street in Roseau.

when i work they take their portion, why am am owing them?
i have to agree with true dominican it took me 11 months 13 days to get $300. ,but they giving us deadline to pay
I got my tax-refund already, my people, and I am spending it wisely. Pay as you earn. Take out more during the year, get back some at the end of the year, that’s how it works.
I think Dominicans are well aware of their obligations. The Inland Revenue Division is one or if not the leading Government department in Customer Service. See what they have done to the drivers licence card. I am proud. By the way I also received my refund. Keep up the good works Comptroller.
Taxpayer
I hope the politicians file their taxes and declare ALL their income -that include under table deals. They must truly declare all their assets. Let them come clean. i will file my taxes

ADMIN: Note that this is an excerpt of an interview, where a story was written on this particular issue.
We have to pay late fees and interest when we owe, and when they owe us, they take more that 10 months to pay or even longer.
So what double standard is the Comptroller?
tax awareness week? sounds like a disgruntled employee at income tax division. who knows or cares anything about tax awareness week?? I don’t need to be more aware of my taxes, thank you…i’m aware that everytime i get my salary all you taking 16% of it. at least it go down a bit…used to be 20%.
