Beware of Fraudulent Emails
The Inland Revenue Department issued a statement on August 4, 2025, regarding fraudulent emails claiming to be from the IRD, reminding the public not to open suspicious emails or click on hyperlinks within them.
Therefore, taxpayers should remain vigilant and check whether emails regarding the IRD involve scams. You can refer to the following assessment message prompt issued by the IRD; the IRD will only remind taxpayers: “Please log into your eTAX – Individual Tax Profile account to read the message regarding your assessment.” Such messages will not contain any hyperlinks; you only need to log into the ITP website yourself.
Pay Attention to Correspondence Address
If you have not received your tax bill by mail, you should first confirm if your correspondence address is correct. If necessary, you can use the Notification of Change of Address to update your tax bill delivery address.
