    Revised income-tax returns: filing window extended to 12 months; fee proposed for revisions after nine months.
    The proposal increases the time limit for filing a revised income-tax return from nine to twelve months from the end of the relevant tax year to allow those who file belated returns late to still revise returns; a fee is proposed for revised returns filed after nine months, with corresponding amendments and staggered commencement dates across the two income-tax statutes applying to the relevant tax and assessment years.

    Scope of filing of updated return in the case of reduction of losses – reg.
    Show AI Summary
    Updated tax returns may be allowed when a taxpayer reduces a previously claimed loss, per proposed Finance Bill changes.
