VAT-registered people planning to benefit from the Budget scheme which reduces their due arrears now have until December 31 to file their returns and pay the sums due this year.
The Finance Minister yesterday announced that the VAT commissioner will accept the returns, which were originally due on December 15, so as to ensure more people are eligible to benefit.
“Those who did not file their VAT returns by December 15, or those who sent it without the necessary payments, will have another final opportunity to take part and benefit from this scheme.”
The legal notice published on November 14 which regulates this scheme will be amended as necessary.
