Personal Income Tax Return

You should be able to download the tax returns from the IRD website http://www.ird.gov.mt/ complete it and then submit it to them - but to be honest i wouldnt hold my breathe to get your cash back anytime soon theyre not very good at giving tax back to people who have left the island...i think they like to think that you wont bother and love to keep the extras.

Good luck and look forward to hearing of of your exploits with the IRD from afar.

There is also a guide to completing your tax return available here:

IRD usually sends the blank tax return in April-May. The deadline for filing is 30/06. You can file it electronically if you have e-id

If you have a right for refund, you will receive the cheque in October-November

can still do electronically, as long have e-ID.

Thanks guys,

You are helpful as always. I do have an e-ID, but do they do direct deposit in Malta bank account in case of refund? Because the check sent to my old address will do me no good

If you have e-id - register in IRD site (via mygov.mt) and wait for 2012 tax return. As I understand, it was not issued yet.

Regarding the cheque - I suggest to send them a letter with request regarding the refund options.

Hi Irina,

Not sure if this will help but I have previously claimed tax back from UK, Ireland and Gibraltar and always trough the Internet via a company called taxback.com

They will sort out all the paperwork for you and will keep you updated via their website. They will charge you a small fee as soon as you get your money back. To be honest, I have always done this way, coz otherwise, I wouldn't probably get anything if I was to do on my own. The 3 times they did for me, the money went straight to my bank acc with no problems whatsoever.

Good luck,
Antoni
