The V.I. Bureau of Internal Revenue has announced that the hours of operation for tax day have been extended on both Monday and Tuesday for the convenience of taxpayers.
The offices on St. Thomas and St. Croix will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 17 and from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 18. The St. John office will remain open until 5:00 p.m. on both days, B.I.R. said.
Taxpayers who are unable to file their 2022 returns by the due date are reminded that they can file an extension by using Form 4868. To obtain approval of the extension, the taxpayer must properly estimate the tax liability due and file the Form 4868 no later than April 18, 2023. The extension is only for the filing of the tax return. Taxpayers who owe taxes must pay the tax due on April 18th to avoid the failure to pay penalty. The extension will be granted until October 16, 2023.
BIR has urged taxpayers to take advantage of the extended hours to file their returns on time. Any questions concerning the extended office hours can be directed to the Processing Division at (340) 715-1040, extension 2223.
The extended hours are expected to help taxpayers who may be struggling to meet the deadline due to various reasons.
