The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has extended the deadline for senior citizens to submit applications for quarterly income tax refunds for the assessment year 2023/2024.
The extension, now valid until June 30, 2025, was announced in response to a high volume of requests from elderly taxpayers, according to a statement issued by the Commissioner General of Inland Revenue. The previous deadline was outlined under Circular No. SEC/2023/E/06, dated September 25, 2023.
To support applicants, the IRD has arranged for senior citizens to receive assistance and submit their applications every Wednesday from 8.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. at their respective regional offices. If a Wednesday falls on a public holiday, services will be available on the following Thursday. Visitors are advised to arrive before 4.15 p.m. to ensure their applications are processed in time.
The department urged all eligible senior citizens to make use of the extended deadline and file their refund claims promptly.
For additional details or support, taxpayers are encouraged to contact their nearest IRD regional office.
