Tax statements come in faster

More than twice as many tax declarations have been submitted compared to the same time last year, which is due to the fact that the online Taxisnet system opened earlier than ever this year.

A total of 682,150 tax statements had been submitted by May 18, 2018, while this year 1,560,252 statements had been uploaded up until Thursday, and it is likely there won't be any need to extend the June 30 deadline.

According to a leading official at the Independent Authority for Public Revenue, the pace of tax statement submissions has increased in the last few days, topping 70,000 per day, and if this acceleration continues to take the rate closer to 100,000 submission per day, then the process will be successfully completed by June 30. According to the IAPR's figures, another 5.5 million statements have yet to be submitted.
