What is required for your 2025 IB return

What information do we need from you to compile your 2025 income tax return?

From 1 March 2026, income tax returns for 2025 can be compiled and submitted to the Inland Revenue. Below is a list designed to assist in collecting the required data. This list covers the most common parts of the return. We cannot rule out asking you for further details. The list is also in pdf-format available.

Pre-completed declaration (VIA)

Usually, if you have authorised our office to do so, we can download the details of the pre-completed return (VIA) from the Inland Revenue. But the VIA does not always contain the correct information and regularly information is missing.

In addition, we obviously want to complete your tax return in the best possible way. That is why we ask you to send us all information relevant to the tax return. This may be done electronically (e.g. by e-mail), but also physically (by handing it in at our counter or by post).
