For whom the Tax Authority has prepared a draft tax return, but they may decide to opt for self-assessment:

• Taxpayers with customer portal registration, who do not want to either accept or modify the draft return prepared by the Tax Authority
• Taxpayers without a customer portal registration, who do not request a draft PIT return from the Tax Authority either by post or in person and would like to file their own PIT return

Who are required to prepare a self-assessment tax return?

• who, in the tax year concerned, only received income that is to be declared and about which the payer is not obliged to disclose information
• who has not obtained their income from a payer

How can we prepare your PIT return?

a) For taxpayers with customer portal registration:

The reporting obligation can be fulfilled by filing a 18SZJA return through the customer portal, prepared with the WebNYK form-filling program available on the Tax Authority’s website. If the Tax Authority has prepared a draft PIT return for you, but you do not accept/supplement/modify it until May 20, 2019, and do not file a 18SZA self-assessment tax return either, your draft tax return will become your tax return.

b) For taxpayers without a customer portal registration:

The reporting obligation can be fulfilled by filing a paper-based 18SZJA tax return printed after preparing it with the WebNYK form-filling program available on the Tax Authority’s website, but the paper-based 18SZJA form will also be available in the customer service offices of the Tax Authority.
