“LIRS had initially extended the deadline for filing annual tax returns for two months, from the statutory March 31 of every fiscal year to May 31.
“We constantly debated what other measures could be taken as an organisation to support individuals and businesses at this time, hence, the additional one-month extension from June 1 to June 30.
“It is our sincere hope that taxpayers take advantage of this new extension to duly file their returns.”
