GOVERNMENT OF DOMINICA EXTENDS FILING DEADLINE FOR INCOME TAX RETURNS
Roseau, Dominica- March 31, 2022: The Government of Dominica has extended the filing and payment due date for income tax returns and payments to May 31, 2022.
“I have received several requests for Government to consider an extension of the income tax filing and payment due date by one to two months because of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on individuals’ livelihoods as well as on the operations of businesses.
“As a Government, which continues to listen to the concerns of every Dominican citizen and resident, we have, therefore, taken a decision, to extend the filing and payment due date for income tax returns and payments due today March 31, 2022 for Income Year January 2021 to December 2021. The new due date for filing these returns is May 31, 2022,” Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit said.
He said the additional time will allow businesses to complete their paperwork as well as amass additional funds to meet their obligations.
“We are happy that we are in a position to assist. COVID-19 has had a negative impact on countries across the world. Governments, businesses, and individuals have all been affected. We in Dominica are no exception. It is a prolonged storm that we have to weather collectively.
“This measure, I am sure, will bring some relief particularly to business owners as together we devise ways to continue to build a resilient sustainable economy and country,” the Prime Minister stated.
