Finance Bill 2026: Quarterly VAT Returns and Advance Tax Payment Proposal

  • VAT return filing is being shifted from every tax period to once every three tax periods, with returns due within 15 days after the three-period cycle ends.
  • Voluntary filing for each tax period remains allowed, and the Board can still extend deadlines without interest or penalty; electronic filing may become mandatory.
  • Supplementary duty reporting will now be included in the VAT return.
  • A new advance payment rule requires paying one-third of the previous three tax periods’ total tax liability within 15 days after each tax period.
  • Final tax adjustment and declaration will be made in the quarterly return; turnover tax reporting is also being moved to a yearly cycle.
