Can I request for an extension to file my overdue tax return?
For current Year of Assessment
Request for an extension of time to file may be made online via our Apply Extension of Time to File digital service at myTax Portal.
This digital service will take about 3-5 minutes to complete and the outcome of your request will be displayed instantaneously. For more information on how to use this digital service, please refer to the user guide (PDF, 1.12 MB).
However, if a Notice to Attend Court/Summons has been issued, filing extensions are not allowed. If you require an extension to file, you must attend Court on the specified date indicated in the Notice to Attend Court/ Summons to appeal for an extension.
Failure to attend Court may result in further legal actions.
For previous Year(s) of Assessment
No filing extensions will be granted as the returns are long overdue.
