IRAS Year-End Reporting: A Comprehensive Guide for Businesses

As businesses in Singapore close their financial year, preparing for the IRAS year-end reporting becomes a crucial task. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) requires companies to report on various tax, payroll, and regulatory aspects annually. Proper year-end reporting ensures compliance with local laws and aids in maintaining transparent financial practices. This article provides a comprehensive guide on IRAS year-end reporting, its importance for businesses, and how PayrollServe can assist companies.

Employee Income Reporting through Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS)

Companies report employee earnings through the Auto Inclusion Scheme (AIS). This covers salary, bonuses, benefits, and other income elements, which helps IRAS calculate the correct tax assessments for employees. 

 

Who needs to submit via AIS?

Submission is mandatory for companies with five or more employees.

What information does the submission require?

Taxable employee income and benefits (e.g. car benefits, accommodation and flexible benefits).

What are the benefits of AIS?

Employee income information is pre-filled in their online income tax forms, simplifying the process for filing personal tax returns.

Corporate Income Tax Reporting

Businesses must file their annual income tax return, either via Form C-S or Form C, which includes a comprehensive view of the company’s profit, loss, income and allowable deductions. This filing allows IRAS to determine the company’s tax obligations. 

 

Which companies are eligible for Form C-S?

For smaller companies that meet specific requirements (e.g. annual revenue below S$5 million and have no need to claim capital allowances).

Which companies are eligible for Form C?

For larger corporations or those with more complex accounting needs.

GST Returns 

Goods and Services Tax (GST) registered companies file their GST returns to report total output and input tax. This filing helps businesses maintain accurate records for tax rebate or remittance purposes. 

Each component has specific deadlines and must be submitted through digital platforms such as the myTax portal. Accurate year-end reporting ensures that businesses fulfil all their tax obligations and remain compliant with Singaporean Compliance Regulations. 

 

Can businesses choose to file GST returns quarterly or yearly?

GST-registered businesses are generally required to file GST quarterly. However, there are businesses that choose to file on an annual basis under specific conditions set by IRAS.

Why is keeping digital records important for GST Reporting?

Maintaining comprehensive records is essential for ensuring accuracy in GST filing and avoiding potential audit risks.

What is the Importance of IRAS year-end reporting? 

The significance of IRAS year-end reporting extends beyond compliance – it is foundational to a business’s reputation and financial stability. 


Regulatory Compliance
Failure to comply with the IRAS reporting standards can lead to severe consequences, consisting of penalties and/or imprisonment. Meeting these requirements enhances a business’s credibility with employees and stakeholders.

Business Continuity and Growth
Accurate financial records help businesses identify potential challenges, support sustainable growth, and facilitate smooth operations. 

Audit Readiness
Clear, consistent financial records help prepare businesses for potential audits. Transparent reporting reduces risks associated with discrepancies or errors. 

Data Accuracy for Tax Assessments
Proper reporting ensures accurate tax assessments for employees and improves business budgeting.
Given the potential consequences of non-compliance, prioritising accurate and timely IRAS year-end reporting is vital for businesses to maintain financial health and stability.
