Abu Ali said that all
returns were submitted electronically, by both individuals and companies, as
part of the department's policy to providing services digitally.
The legal period for
submitting tax returns for 2021 ends on April 30.
The department urged merchants,
industrialists, services providers, professionals, and craftsmen to submit
their income tax returns for 2021, to pay the declared amounts electronically
as soon as possible, and not to delay submitting them to avoid being fined
fines.
Employees who receive yearly
salaries that exceed JD9,000 (non-supporters) and JD18,000 (breadwinners) are
obliged to submit income tax returns, the department indicated.
The fact that
income tax is
deducted from employees’ salaries does not mean that taxpayers are exempt from
submitting income tax returns, according to Abu Ali.
Abu Ali said that the
department will submit a bid for the electronic billing system project during
March or April; currently the related procedures are being completed.
Abu Ali said that a
committee from the
Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship is tasked
with the bidding process for this system that will link all sectors with the
department electronically.
The system aims to reduce
tax evasion and increase the efficiency of collection, and thus increase the Treasury
revenues.
