More than 10% of 2022 tax returns still to be submitted
More than 10% of tax returns expected for the 2022 tax year have still not be submitted, a week after the deadline has passed.
About 33,000 returns were expected, but only about 29,000 have been filed.
‘Anyone who has not yet submitted their 2022 personal tax return is encouraged to do so as quickly as possible,’ a States spokesman said.
‘An automatic £200 penalty will be imposed for personal tax returns that were not received by the due date. However, an additional daily penalty of £10 a day will also be applied for returns not submitted by 4 April.’
There has been a general move in recent years to encourage islanders to submit returns online, and number choosing to do so have continued to grow this year.
Over 21,000 personal tax returns – more than 70% – were submitted online for 2022, the highest number of online tax submissions ever recorded.
Now that the 2022 tax return deadline has passed, filing for 2023 has now opened online at my.gov.gg.
Paper returns will be available to collect from Edward T Wheadon House from 29 April.
The 2023 return is the first where each individual is responsible for their own tax affairs regardless of their marital status. Help with registering for a MyGov account and filing online can be found at www.gov.gg/onlinetaxhelp.
The deadline for the 2023 return is 31 January 2025.
