‘Tax man’ moves online: Tax Service Department now requires online payment only

Posted: Wednesday, April 5, 2023. 3:09 pm CST.

By Aaron Humes: The Belize Tax Service Department (BTSD) announces that as of April 1, it is now mandatory that all tax payments it collects – income, business, general sales, and others – are to be paid online through its Integrated Revenue Information System (IRIS).

Section 22 (2) (c) of the Tax Administration and Procedure Act (TAPA), Chapter 51 of the Laws of Belize, authorizes the Director General of the BTSD to specify the manner in which tax returns should be filed and allows for electronic returns.

The voluntary period for use of the IRIS system started in September 2021, when only larger taxpayers were statutorily required to use it; however, as part of the phased implementation of the system, everyone will now be required to file using it.

The BTSD will no longer require taxpayers to pay in person: all filing, calculation of payment, and returns will go through the IRIS system to simplify the process and create greater efficiency.

Taxes do still apply under those in the purview of TAPA, the Income and Business Tax Act Chapter 55, and the General Sales Tax Act Chapter 63.

To register for an IRIS account, visit: https://www.irisbelize.bts.gov.bz/CreateAccount. You can contact the BTSD help desk at the following numbers: 613-8375; 613-2773; 614-5731; or 613-411; or email at [email protected] during normal working hours from Mondays to Fridays.
