Beware of Impersonation Scams

Watch out for calls claiming to be from:
1. A police officer saying you are part of an investigation – they might even accuse you of being involved in criminal activities;
2. A bank officer saying your bank account or credit card has been compromised; or
3. A government official (e.g. IRAS, MAS, MDDI, LTA) saying you have not paid your bill/fine or that your mobile number has been misused for scams.

Do not be deceived just because the caller knows your personal information (e.g. your name or NRIC number). It may be a scam!

Call the 24/7 ScamShield Helpline at 1799 to check if you are unsure if something is a scam.

Earlier in June, IRAS Deputy Commissioner Quek Su Lynn led our Transfer Pricing Dispute Resolution team to the inaugural SGATAR Competent Authority Forum 2025 in Seoul, South Korea.

The Forum brought together tax administrators from across Asia-Pacific to share insights on Mutual Agreement Procedures (MAPs) and Advance Pricing Arrangements (APAs). Our team presented Singapore's best practices and engaged in meaningful discussions on key issues, including multilateral APAs and arbitration procedures.

These exchanges with other jurisdictions provided fresh insights to enhance our work in dispute prevention and resolution. We also had the opportunity to hear directly from private sector representatives, who shared important taxpayer perspectives.

The Forum proved invaluable in strengthening regional partnerships and fostering collaboration among SGATAR members, reinforcing the value of open communication and mutual trust in international tax administration.

The Cash Accounting Scheme (CAS) allows voluntary GST-registered businesses whose annual taxable turnover does not exceed S$1 million to:
✔️ Account for GST after receiving payment from customers
✔️ Claim GST after paying their suppliers

Benefits of the CAS include:
• Ease cash flow
• Simplify GST reporting compliance as they only need to keep track of when they receive and make payments
