Tax Tips

Failure to submit VAT Returns

If you don’t submit a VAT Return at all, the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) will conduct an audit to assess your tax liability. This is known as an assessment. If after an assessment is presented to you, and you still don’t file the correct return and pay the tax as determined in the assessment, IRD will commence its collection and enforcement actions.
