Employers are required to either transmit electronically or prepare manually their employees’ employment income information (IR8A and respective appendices, if applicable) by 1st March every year.
Adhering to the deadline
Please send the information on or before 1st March. If you transmit the information late, your employees will not be able to view their employment income information online when they log in to e-file their income tax returns.
What must I do if I cannot meet the deadline?
If you are unable to transmit the information by 1st March, please write to IRAS stating the name and ID of the company, date of extension and reasons for extension. Extension might be granted on a case-by-case basis.
You can send the email to ais@iras.gov.sg, or fax your letter to 63513302 or mail it to 55 Newton Road, Singapore 307987.
