The income tax department has revealed that it has received more than 2 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for AY 2022-23. The last date to file the annual ITR for salaried taxpayers and non-auditable cases is July 31. 

“Income Tax e-filing portal has received more than 2 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for AY 2022-23. We urge you to file your ITR at the earliest, if not filed as yet,” the department tweeted via its official twitter handle.

With the last date for filing Income Tax Return (ITR) for the current assessment year fast approaching, Finance Ministry officials say they are hopeful of a good number of submissions. The department officials also said that the Income Tax department website for ITR filing (incometaxindia.gov.in) is under review to ensure efficiency in the filing process.  

The department recently acknowledged that taxpayers were facing issues in the e-filing portal. On July 2, 2022, the income tax department on its official Twitter handle said that software provider Infosys is taking “proactive measures” to deal with the ‘irregular traffic’ on the portal.  

Despite the income tax return filing and technical glitches, the tax practitioners are also packed with the GST return filing dates.

The last date for GSTR 3B is 20th, 22 and 24th July 2022. The due date for filing GSTR-5 and GSTR 5A is 20th July 2022. The due date for CMP-08 from April to June is 31st July 2022.

With so many compliance tasks, the Tax Practitioners are really looking for a due date extension which would be a great relief at this time.
