About this statute

These rules set the conditions and procedures for applying for payment in instalments. The taxpayer may ask the Commissioner General to pay tax in instalments for up to 12 months, and the Commissioner General may extend that period by up to 24 more months if there is evidence of serious hardship. A taxpayer asking to pay in instalments must meet four conditions, including paying at least 10% upfront and providing an approved guarantee, unless the Commissioner General allows instalments without the guarantee. An application letter for tax payment in instalments should state the tax type, tax amount, proposed instalment plan, tax period, and reasons for not paying the full tax at once. If a taxpayer meets all requirements, the taxpayer and the Tax Administration must sign an instalment payment agreement. If the taxpayer fails to follow the payment plan, the agreement is terminated and the taxpayer must immediately pay the full tax due.
