Updated October 18, 2026. Published March 14, 2023. The original notice pertained to the March 31, 2023 deadline for the 2022 fiscal year. The content has been shortened as a historical record, retaining the reporting formats that remain useful today.

On March 31, 2023, the General Directorate of Taxes reminded taxpayers that it was the deadline for filing and paying the corporate income tax return and financial statements for the 2022 fiscal year. The financial statements were submitted electronically in PDF format (scanned, signed, and sealed by the administrator) and in Excel format, together with the explanatory notes and, when required, the report of the authorized accounting expert.

Why does it matter today?

The structure of reporting formats—GAAP for micro, small, and medium entities, IFRS for public interest entities—remains a useful starting point each year, but always verify that the administration has published an updated version of the form for the current year before using it.
