Accounting & Audit

STEP BY STEP

If the tax return shows that the limited company is profitable, the Inland Revenue Department will issue a tax notice to the limited company to pay the relevant taxes. If a company fills in wrong information on the tax form or omits individual items, or submits the tax return late, it may violate the tax regulations, and the company may be prosecuted and fined by the Inland Revenue Department.
