He noted that while March 31 remains the official deadline each year, the additional window is meant to ease the process and encourage full compliance.
Subair urged residents to make timely tax filing a regular habit, stressing the importance of meeting tax obligations.
He also reiterated that all submissions must be done electronically through the LIRS eTax platform, as manual filing has been completely phased out.
