How a Haitian income tax file is put together
Haiti files once a year on a fiscal year that ends in September, and the proof of filing matters as much as the return.
The déclaration définitive
An individual or a company files the déclaration définitive d'impôt sur le revenu with the DGI between 1 October and 31 January for the fiscal year that closed on 30 September. The form lists income by source, salaires, loyers, bénéfices, then the deductions and the tax computed, and the DGI stamps the filer's copy on receipt. The translation carries the stamp, the filing date and the filer's NIF, the numéro d'identification fiscale, since those are what a US officer uses to tie the return to the person.
Quitus fiscal and the NIF card
Two shorter DGI papers travel with returns. The quitus fiscal certifies that the holder owes no tax and is demanded for property sales, public contracts and some visa files. The carte d'identité fiscale, the NIF card, shows the fiscal number itself, and the DGI also issues an attestation of payments made. Each is a page or less, and we translate the DGI's titles and office names the same way across the set so a reader sees one taxpayer.
Salaried, withheld, never filed
Many salaried Haitians never file: the employer withholds impôt sur le revenu at source, and the proof is a payslip or an employer's attestation rather than a return. If a consular officer or USCIS asks for a tax return and you were only ever withheld, the honest answer is a translated attestation de salaire with the withholding shown, plus a translated quitus if the DGI will issue one. Tell us which documents you have, and we translate those.
Who is asking for your Haitian Creole tax return translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
USCIS and the National Visa Center
Sponsors filing an affidavit of support, and applicants proving income, submit tax returns with a complete English translation and a signed certification. No notarization is needed.
IRCC
IRCC accepts a certified translation with the translator's affidavit. Order the certified translation and add notarization if your application guide asks for it.
Lenders and tax authorities
A mortgage lender or a tax office assessing foreign income accepts a certified translation of the return and its schedules. Ask whether they want a hard copy and add it at checkout.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Haitian Creole tax return.
Send the filed return, not the draft
The recipient wants the version the tax office accepted, with its filing stamp, receipt number or online confirmation. Include the confirmation page if your return was filed electronically.
Include every schedule and attachment
The income summary on the first page refers to schedules behind it. A consulate or a lender reading the total will look for the pages that support it.
Give us the taxpayer name as the passport spells it
Taxpayer numbers, amounts and the currency are copied exactly as printed. Tell us the English spelling of each name on the return so it matches the rest of your file.

Haitian Creole Tax Return FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- USCIS asked for my sponsor's tax return, but my sponsor lives in Haiti. What do I send?
- The Form I-864 sponsor must be domiciled in the US and files US returns, so a Haitian return does not replace the IRS transcript. Haitian income matters in two other places: a household member who earns in Haiti and signs Form I-864A, and a visa interview where you show ties to Haiti. For those, a translated déclaration définitive with the DGI receipt stamp is what the officer reads.
- The DGI stamped my return by hand and part of it is unreadable. Is that a problem?
- The stamp matters more than the ink. A DGI reception stamp with the date and the office, Port-au-Prince, Pétion-Ville or Cap-Haïtien, is translated as a stamp with whatever is legible, and a smudged word is marked illegible instead of guessed. If the DGI also gave you a reçu de dépôt, send it; it repeats the date and the amount and fills the gap.
- I pay the patente on my business. Is that the same as a tax return?
- No. The patente is the yearly licence fee a business pays at the DGI, and the receipt shows the business is registered and paid up, not what it earned. An officer asking about income wants the déclaration définitive or, for a salaried worker, the employer's attestation. Send the patente too if you run a business, and we translate it as a separate document.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
