Tax Return Form Filing Programme for the Year 2023

Updated: Dec 29, 2022

All persons must furnish the return of total income in response to a notice issued by the DGIR. Although the general provisions indicate that the DGIR requires returns and information, this authority can be delegated by him/her to his/her subordinates.


Sections 77 to 89 give wide powers to the DGIR in obtaining returns and information.


The return form is prescribed and requires a taxpayer engaged in employment, business, profession or vocation to furnish the full particulars mentioned.


The main forms are:

  • Form B (CP 4A) and Form BE (CP 4B) for individuals

  • Form C (CP 5) for companies

  • Form P (CP 3) for partnerships

  • Form M (CP 54) for non-resident individuals

Tax Return Deemed Notice of Assessment

The tax return submitted by the taxpayer under the self-assessment system (SAS) is deemed to be a notice of assessment served on the day the return is furnished to the IRB (s 90 ITA 1967).

Filing Individual Tax Returns

Every individual must furnish a tax return if he/she has chargeable income for a year of assessment.


An individual who has no chargeable income for a particular year of assessment is required to furnish a tax return if that individual:

  • has chargeable income for the previous year of assessment

  • has furnished a return for the previous year of assessment, or

  • has been required to furnish a return (but failed to furnish that return) for the previous year of assessment (s 77 of the Income Tax Act 1967 (ITA 1967)).

Individuals and their spouses must file separate tax returns regardless of whether these are based on a separate or combined assessment.


The responsibility of determining the correctness of the information disclosed in the tax return, computing the chargeable income and tax liability, and making tax payments in accordance with the tax computed lies with the taxpayer.


In the tax return furnished, the taxpayer must indicate whether the IRB’s public rulings have been complied with in making the return.

Filing Company Tax Returns

Every company must furnish a tax return to the DGIR in the prescribed form for each year of assessment.


The tax return must be furnished within 7 months following the closing of the company’s accounting period. [s 77A(1) of the Income Tax Act 1967 (ITA 1967)].


Companies are required to file their tax returns electronically to the DGIR.


The tax returns must be based on accounts audited by approved company auditors. From YA 2022, all entities (i.e. limited liability partnerships, trust bodies, cooperative societies) are required to furnish tax returns based on financial statements prepared in accordance with any written law (s 77A(4)).
