You can actually call them to verify your balance. In addition it should update once approved

Anyone has a contact number for them? I filed mine since August and haven't gotten my refund as yet. Anyone else having similiar issues?

I didn't read all previous posts but online is really easy. It's just to set up your ttconnect account and login to etax. The people at the ttconnect offices can help if you getting trouble and their opening hours are from around 7am-6pm I think. At least chaguanas office(opposite Mid Center Mall)Same building as TTMF. Was really easy and I did everything same day.

Any Penalties?

playerskrew · Postby **playerskrew** » March 6th, 2018, 5:45 pm

Not as far as i know

not_a_monkey · Postby **not_a_monkey** » March 6th, 2018, 7:06 pm

I think the deadline was end of October 2017 (for 2016). $100.00 late penalty fee but I not sure how that works if it's per year or what... I may be wrong but I read that on a 2014 BIR instructions.

Jade_Inc. · Postby **Jade_Inc.** » March 6th, 2018, 7:44 pm

So if you send the tax form in late, would u have to pay before u collect the cheque?

playerskrew · Postby **playerskrew** » March 10th, 2018, 11:46 am

I filed from 2011 to 2015 in 2015 and didn't pay anything for filing late...

I think they had waived the late filing penalties for a period so they were encouraging ppl to file during that period

Here’s a useful tip: you can manage other accounts from your account. For example i do my wife and my tax from my account. You can actual add accounts to manage without having to login separately each time.

Hey. Does anyone know where I can get more information on factors that allow you to claim for tax returns? I saw a few posts such as being married and being a first time home owner but it'd be great to get more information as well as a comprehensive list. It feels like this stuff is intentionally secretive.

Actually it is no secret. When u are filling out the form they do mention the following for example: first time home owner, annuity, pension, tertiary education, tink i saw a cng conversion, etc. there are others that i cant recall but they are mentioned on the form. Also u must provide statements or receipts to prove ur claim. I am yet to claim for being married, LOL, man dat does even exist anywhere? LMAO

I could probably screenshot all the stuff you can claim for in a timing.

Hey. You're correct. The td1 form on the inland revenue website has the exemption criteria. Thanks for the heads up.
