Case escalation

If there are cases in the following situations and you wish to contact us for case escalation, please submit your request via FormSG (Corporate Income Tax):

  1. Cases where more than 6 months have passed from the date of last correspondence with complete information sent to IRAS. 
  2. Cases where no further progress can be made due to taxpayer/tax agent and IRAS holding different positions or where taxpayer/tax agent wants to reach out to IRAS before deciding to request for issuance of Notice of Refusal to Amend. It does not include cases where officers are still raising queries to understand the facts of the case.

Please note that only cases which fall within the above situations will be escalated. For all other scenarios, please contact the case officer directly or our Corporate Tax Helpline at 1800 356 8622. Thank you.
