Belize Tax Service Department requires businesses to update their accounts before a new system is implemented
A new and improved way to pay taxes is being introduced by the Belize Tax Service Department (BTSD) to allow online payments and better control of tax profiles and accounts. Many taxpayers paying Business, General Sales, and Income tax, among others, will be able to do so in a more organized and efficient way. The new system is set to start in August and will allow taxpayers to access their accounts and other e-services from anywhere in the world. As such, the BTSD is asking businesses to update their account information via applicable forms e-mailed to them. This information is to be e-mailed back to [email protected] by May 7, 2021.
