BRA tax clinics begin this weekend

The Barbados Revenue Authority (BRA) begins its series of Tax Clinics on April 4, offering taxpayers timely in-person support during the peak filing period.

On Saturday, taxpayers can access this support at the Queen’s Park Steel Shed and the Rice’s Resource Centre. Additional sites will be introduced on subsequent Saturdays, including the Valley Resource Centre as well as the authority’s Holetown and Warrens Towers II offices. An additional clinic will be held at the Briar Hall Resource Centre on the last Saturday of the month.

Saturday clinics will operate from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at all locations, except on April 25, when the Queens Park Steel Shed site will close at 1 p.m.

To further expand access, weekday clinics will also be held at the Queens Park Steel Shed from April 20 to 30, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., excluding bank holidays.

The clinics are designed to support individuals with filing their Personal Income Tax  returns and those applying for the Reverse Tax Credit, with trained BRA officers on hand to provide guidance and answer questions. The authority is encouraging taxpayers to take advantage of these clinics to avoid last minute challenges and to ensure their returns are filed on time.

The BRA is advising persons attending the clinics to bring all relevant supporting documents and valid identification.

Full details on clinic locations, dates and times are available on the BRA website, www.bra.gov.bb. (PR)
