According to government officials, the ATL is published annually on March 1 and is valid through the last day of February of the following year.

The person must file tax returns for the prior year in order to be a member of ATL. According to the Finance Act of 2018, if a person doesn't submit their tax return before the deadline, they will not be eligible for ATL for that year. However, the 2019 Finance Act made changes to this. Even if a tax return is filed after the deadline, a person's name may still appear on the list.
