[YA 2025] Deadline for Singapore IR8A Form

Last Updated: February 09, 2025

Overview:

Under S68(2) of the Singapore Income Tax Act of 1947, Employers in Singapore are required to prepare and submit employment income details. Each March 1st the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) receives IR8A reports that include complete income details for the prior year of every employee. The guide delivers a detailed explanation which shows employers step-by-step procedures for IR8A filing through payroll software to meet all IRAS regulations.

Deadline for Singapore IR8A Form

In Singapore, every March 1st Singaporean employers must prepare Form IR8A and submit it with matching appendages such as Appendix 8A, Appendix 8B, or Form IR8S. The employment income details of workers must be submitted to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore by March 1st. 

The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) uses an electronic platform for employers who belong to the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) to receive this information. Non-AIS employers must prepare the required forms for March 1st but need to provide them to employees for their self-filing during tax return preparation.

The deadline must be followed because Singapore tax regulations require it. 

Any delay in submission beyond the deadline results in financial penalties reaching maximums of $1,000 together with possible prison sentences extending to six months.
