Income Tax Refunds

[eitech]

hi guys, im not finding the 2017 tax return forms online.
could anyone point in the right direction?

I think they stopped distributing those forms online awhile now. You will need to go into the office for a hard copy or do ur tax online

Is filing online easier than filling out the tax form ?

Yep. It tells u what to do and calculates accordingly. U jus need to have ur supporting documents scanned for upload

I logged in and changed my password and filed my tax return today, no issues with recaptcha, just had to tick the I'm not a robot box, co worker also got through with resetting his password and filing without any issues really.

You tried a different browser? Because we did it from our phones

Just an update, got my cheque on Friday gone, so it took just about a month from filing to recieving refund

If you find it takes long, don't worry about it. You will eventually be processed. I received about 6-7 calls/requests from BIR Officers concerning clarification on documents submitted and seeking further documentation. I was prompt in hand-delivering all that was required. I even took their email addresses and followed up with them directly. Some even liaised with each other since several tax officers went through my file over the years and they were all prompt and professional. They have numerous challenges in there, from poor work facilities to system down time, staffing etc etc. but my experience from the above is, you will eventually be processed.

Hi all, for the past years I have filed online.
Last year I daughter started UWI and I had to pay part of fees (not 100% gate funded).
Could I claim for that?
This part is keeping me back from filing for 2017.
Thanks.

You should be able to. I believe there is clarification info on the site as well.

You have to carry the policy to BIR to have them register it. After that your policy provider generates a yearly statement.

I did check on the help for that part and the said it's for foreign institutions only.
I think this is old info when gate was 100% but want to be sure.

The new policy is that it must be a foreign university. The only regional institution which they count is St. George's University (Grenada).

This same question kept me back too but got it sorted.

Can i file for 2017 if i have not gotten my TD4 yet ? I can get my figures from December 2017 payslip. But the company I work for has not given out TD4 yet.

Any figures you providing MUST be accompanied by a scan upload of proof before final submission if it’s online.

Filed on 13.04.18 for tax yr. 2017 and received my refund 15.05.2018
That was fast.

[demented]

Filed 10th April and got my cheque yesterday. The cheque was dated May 09th. So maybe 1 month processing and the delay is ttpost.

[superstainless1250]

I still waiting on my cheque ne time ur pay 10000 + an ur under the personal allowance ur have to get back full refund was told they need to do a audit on my account for the year in question

[uncle sam]

I filed for 2017 and it was approved in less than a day. My 2016 refund is still pending approval and it seems that's because it crossed a $7k or so bracket and it has to be approved by a super. Well that's taking forever...

[playerskrew]

I now have access to do my tax online. but since this is my first time using etax do anyone have a step by step link on how to do it? i just have 2017 to file for.

[originalbling]

^^ its fairly easy, when you login there is a link on left side to file a return. Just enter the info required on the screens.

Scan your td4 since you would be prompted to upload it as well.

[shiv2111]

Submitted online since the 22nd May. Still pending.

Anyone else got theirs processed or still waiting?

[VexXx Dogg]

Got mine processed in about 8-12 weeks I think. Both chqs for 2016 and 2017 came same day

[shiv2111]

Thanks.

Any of your refund years was over $7k?

Read higher up that those over $7k took longer to process.

[mitch1980]
