Regarding the deadline for submitting personal income tax settlement documents in 2024
According to the provisions of the Law on Tax Administration, the deadline for submission of PIT finalization declaration for organizations and individuals pays income by the last day of the 3rd month from the end of the calendar year; For individuals who directly settle the PIT, the last day of the 4th month from the end of the calendar year.
Pursuant to the provisions of Decree No. 91/2022/ND-CP, if the last day of the tax declaration dossier coincided with the holiday as prescribed, the last day of the deadline is calculated as a adjacent working day after that holiday. Therefore, the 2024 PIT finalization period is as follows:
First, for organizations and individuals who pay income, the deadline is no later than March 31, 2025.
Second, in case individuals directly settle personal income tax, the deadline is 05/5/2025.

Regarding the dossier for opening personal income tax settlement in 2024
According to the provisions of Appendix I of Decree No. 126/2020/ND-CP of the Government, for individuals directly settling personal income tax with the Tax Authority, the personal income tax settlement dossier includes:

Taxpayers need to pay attention
In addition to the content on the deadline, subjects and personal income tax settlement documents mentioned above, taxpayers need to pay attention to a number of additional contents as follows:
First, in case individuals meet the conditions for being authorized to settle personal income tax according to regulations, individuals are encouraged to authorize settlement for income payment organizations to save time and costs for individuals as well as reduce the number of settlement documents sent to tax authorities.
Second, the place of submitting personal income tax settlement documents must follow the specific instructions in Clause 8, Article 11 of Decree No. 126/2020/ND-CP dated October 19, 2020 of the Government.
Third, in addition, from the work of managing and handling records, the tax authority finds that one of the mistakes that individuals often make when dec declaring and settling personal income tax is that individuals cannot fully summarize their own income sources, or cannot accurately declare income received from income paying organizations, the amount of personal income tax that has been deducted in the year.
The tax authority recommends that if taxpayers encounter difficulties and problems when implementing personal income tax settlement in the 2024 settlement period and need additional support, taxpayers can contact the tax management agency directly or the nearest tax authority for best support.
