Tax filing season begins

The Barbados Revenue Authority (the BRA) says the tax filing season for 2023 begins on April 1 and income tax returns should be filed online at https://tamis.bra.gov.bb.

All self-employed persons, employees who earned above $25 000 in 2023, as well as pensioners with an annual income above $45 000 are required to file a Personal Income Tax (PIT) return. The deadline for filing 2023 Personal Income Tax Returns is April 30, 2024, while the deadline for filing 2023 Reverse Tax Credit (RTC) returns is December 31, 2025.

Manager of Communications and PR at the BRA, Carolyn Williams-Gayle, urged taxpayers to take the time to update their TAMIS information and to ensure that their details are current and accurate. She urged taxpayers to be sure to review their accounts and correct any inaccuracies that may delay the refund process.

The BRA also announced that it will be providing filing assistance for taxpayers in April at various tax clinics. A schedule of clinic locations, dates and times may be found on the BRA website.
