More people encouraged to do tax returns online

More services are now available online geared toward making it easier for people to deal with their tax affairs over their computer.

From next month the online users will receive all correspondence electronically, with refunds of income tax over payments paid directly into their bank account.

The idea is to attract more people to the online service as it results in significant savings in admin costs and a reduced environmental impact.

During the past year 15% of people submitted their tax returns online.

People wishing to register should go to www.gov.im/onlineservices and follow the links to enrol for tax services.
