The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) hereby informs the general public that, pursuant to the provisions of the Income Tax Act, Cap. 15.02, an extension has been granted for the filing of 2025 Income Tax Returns.

The revised deadline for submission is April 10, 2026.

This extension is intended to provide taxpayers with additional time to accurately complete and submit their returns, in accordance with their statutory obligations, and to facilitate full compliance with the requirements of the Inland Revenue Department.
