Tax Season | RCD Article


Hello RCD readers,

How was everyone's Easter vacay?

My first week vacay began with a lot of follow ups, financial administration for tax season with combination of the Holy week. And because this I thought why not give some information that I know about Tax season.

During Covid I followed a workshop about taxes. Which is so weird that I can't find any piece of paperwork that was used that day. That is kind of annoying but the kind tax teaching was more for sole proprietorship. So it makes less sense. Now I'm not going to talk about the every nitty gritty detail about tax season. 

But here are some things that I think you should know. I will keep it for Limited companies. 

Tax types (belastingsoorten)
- Income tax
- BTW
- Wage tax/AOV
- Property tax

Declaration of notes: (aangiften formulieren)
- Final Income tax
- Provisional Income tax
- Wage tax/AOV
- Property tax
- BTW at the time sales tax


1) Income Tax (inkomsten belasting)
There are two types of note: NP (natural person) and L (bodies). With limited companies you will receive both tax return forms. There are four types of notes namely.
- NP(natural person) | Final Income tax
- NP(natural person) | Provisional Income tax
- L (bodies) | Final Income tax
- L (bodies) | Provisional Income tax

NP(natural person) | Final Income tax (natuurlijke persoon)
This tax return form can be picked up at the tax authorities office. This form must be completed in full and signed. It must be submitted to the Collector of Direct Taxes in Paramaribo or in the districts at the offices designated by him by April 30 at the latest (year after the working year has ended). At the same time you pay the calculated amount of Income Tax and AOV Premium. If you believe you should receive money back, the Inspector will determine an assessment. In principle, this takes place within two months. The Inspector can also impose an assessment if he disagrees with your declaration. This must be done within two years after submission of the bill. If you would like an explanation, please contact the Direct Tax Inspector.

NP(natural person) | Provisional Income Tax
This form must be completed in full and signed. It must be submitted to the Collector of Direct Taxes in Paramaribo or in the districts at the offices designated by him by April 15 (same year) at the latest. At the same time you pay one installment, i.e. a quarter of the calculated amount per year in Income Tax and AOV Premium. You must pay the remaining installments no later than July 15, October 15 and December 31 (year after the working year has ended).

L (bodies) | Final Income tax (lichamen; bedrijven)
This tax return form can be picked up at the tax authorities office. This declaration is intended for bodies whose financial year ends. It must be submitted to the collector of Direct Taxes in Paramaribo or in the districts at the offices designated by him within 6 months after the end of the financial year.
