Increasingly, citizens and businesses are adopting digital solutions to manage their day-to-day events and operations, as well as raise productivity and drive business outcomes.
IRAS is interested in collaborating and co-creating with software developers to develop meaningful solutions that make fulfilling tax obligations easy, and in turn, deliver better customer experiences. Specifically, we are interested in solutions that help to integrate tax seamlessly into customers’ natural systems through the use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Some opportunity areas we are looking at include:
- Tax management
- Pre-filing and submission of tax forms
- Exchange of tax-related data
Our vision
A future where digital solutions that facilitate tax compliance are delivered through the community and intermediaries enabled by IRAS. We will deliver customer-centric experiences together with like-minded partners, contributing to a vibrant tax ecosystem that is responsive to evolving customer needs.
What this means for software developers
We are convinced that the range and complexity of the functions which digital solutions are expected to perform will grow over time. Engagement with the industry is therefore important, to understand the impact of technology and policy changes on your solutions and your clients; as well as signal what is to come. Co-developing solutions together would also help us focus on the right customer needs, and ensure that your applications work well with IRAS’ systems.
IRAS is playing a more proactive role to reach out to the software industry to share our vision for the future of tax:
- We will crowdsource ideas from the industry, and gather your feedback on what APIs we should develop to integrate tax seamlessly into taxpayers’ natural systems.
- Embark on relevant Proof-of-Concept (POC) projects together with you.
- Provide timely updates on upcoming changes that may impact you or the users of your digital solutions.
IRAS API Marketplace
The IRAS API Marketplace is a portal dedicated to you, software developers. We believe that your experience is key to the adoption and success for the wider ecosystem through IRAS API integration. Here you will find sample codes and interface specifications to help you integrate with IRAS, as well as discuss ideas that would shape future digital solutions.
