IR21 Processing Time and Access to the Directive

Electronic and paper IR21 submissions have different typical processing periods. Missing information can extend either period.

Allow for processing and delivery

The stated typical periods are seven working days for e-filing and 21 days for paper filing. Once processed, a Directive to Pay Tax or Notification to Release Monies is issued. The electronic copy is normally available in myTax Portal within three working days of processing; the posted copy normally arrives in five to seven working days. These are typical service periods rather than guaranteed deadlines for an incomplete or queried submission.
