The deadline for filing (regular) income tax returns for 2019 is approaching. By 30 April 2020 (11:59 pm), the tax authorities must receive these returns.<\/p>\n
1 May 2020 is the generally applicable deadline for 2019 income tax returns. It applies to tax return forms issued in early 2020.<\/p>\n
A different deadline applies to so-called M-bills. For M-bills issued in early 2020, that deadline is usually 1 July 2020.<\/p>\n
A different deadline also applies to C-bills. C-bills issued in early 2020 must be submitted by 1 July 2020.<\/p>\n
Tax return forms issued later than January or February 2020 will have a different deadline. You will find that deadline on the letter with which the Tax Administration invites you to file a tax return.<\/p>\n
If you hand in your tax return after the deadline, you will not be fined immediately. You will only get one after you let the new deadline mentioned in a reminder expire.<\/p>\n
If you fail to file the tax return (or do so much too late), the tax authorities will impose an assessment on you, which is based on an estimate of your income. There is a considerable chance that your income will be overestimated. In that case, file an objection with the Tax Administration in time (within 6 weeks of the date of the assessment notice).<\/p>\n
Simultaneously, a default penalty is imposed. This amounts in most cases, for an income tax return, \u20ac 385<\/strong> (but in exceptional cases, this fine can be as much as \u20ac5,514).<\/p>\nPostponement<\/h4>\n
