💰 IRD’s Tax Code Saturday — Citizen Service or Revenue Strategy?

This Saturday, the Inland Revenue Department is going islandwide offering assistance to update tax codes.

On the surface?

It looks helpful. Accessible. Citizen-friendly.

But let’s look deeper.

Why now — right before peak filing season?

Why multiple locations?

Why the push?

Here’s what could be happening behind the scenes:

🔹 A database cleanup before income tax season

🔹 Tightening payroll deductions to reduce underpayments

🔹 Encouraging voluntary compliance before audits

🔹 Preparing for digital system upgrades

🔹 Protecting government revenue streams

This isn’t necessarily negative. In fact, updating your tax code could benefit you — especially if:

✔ You added a dependent

✔ Your marital status changed

✔ You have multiple jobs

✔ Your deductions aren’t accurate

But here’s the key:

Don’t just go. Understand what you’re updating.

Tax code changes can increase refunds…

Or increase deductions.

Choiseul, stay informed.

Ask questions.

Know your numbers.

Because when it comes to taxes — small adjustments can mean big differences.

📌 We’re watching. We’re learning. We’re moving.
