Reminder run for submitting a tax return
Request to submit a tax return
-
Basic information
Reason for the reminder letter:
The tax return has not yet been filed—despite the requirement to file a return by July 31, 2026. As a result, following automated processing by the data center, taxpayers were sent letters reminding them of tax returns that still need to be filed.In some cases, the time lag between identifying the individuals to be reminded and sending the letters may result in a reminder being sent even though the return has already been filed.
-
Procedure
The tax return must be filed by the specified deadline.
More information
Telephone queries to the office responsible for processing the reminder will lead to a longer processing time. You are therefore requested to refrain from making further enquiries.
