The Revenue Service is encouraging those still outstanding to file them online through MyGov prior to the deadline on 29 February.

It said over 70% of those received have been done digitally, and using the online portal is quicker to use, process, requires fewer resources, and shortens the backlog. 

The Service will host a drop-in session to help the public with the return, provided they bring their own device. It will be at Edward T Wheadon House on 16 February between 08:45 and 16:00.  

Paper copies are also available from the building or Frossard House.   

2023 returns will be available to complete from early March.  

A disclaimer appeared at the top of the tax return page until yesterday morning, warning that businesses were having issues filing documents. 

A Revenue Service spokesperson told Express:A small number of corporate customers reported a minor issue this week, and we quickly responded to their feedback and resolved the issue.  

We have removed the notification on the webpage [yesterday] morningMost customers are completing their returns successfully without any issues.

The States publish updates on the backlog of assessments from previous years every quarter. 

In November 2023, between 91% and 94% of all returns had been assessed for the 2019 financial year.  

There is still some way to go for returns filed for the 2020 and 2021 years, as shown above.
