IRD Extends 2024/2025 Income Tax Return Deadline Due to Cyclone Ditwah Disruptions

Date:

The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) has announced an extension for filing Returns of Income for the 2024/2025 assessment year, following severe disruptions caused by Cyclone Ditwah and widespread adverse weather across the country.

Tax returns were originally due on November 30, 2025, but the IRD stated that many taxpayers and tax representatives were unable to meet the deadline due to nationwide operational difficulties.

As a result, the IRD has granted a grace period, confirming that returns submitted on or before December 31, 2025, will not incur penalties, assessments, or criminal proceedings related to late filing.

The Commissioner General of Inland Revenue has encouraged all remaining taxpayers to make use of the extended deadline and complete their submissions within the new timeframe.
