Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file corporate tax in Singapore?
A company generally files two things with IRAS: its Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI) within three months after its financial year end, and its corporate income tax return (Form C-S, Form C-S (Lite) or Form C) by 30 November each year. Both are filed on myTax Portal, and we can file them as your tax agent.
What is the corporate income tax rate in Singapore?
The headline rate is 17%. The effective rate is often lower for SMEs because of the Start-Up Tax Exemption for new companies and the Partial Tax Exemption for other qualifying companies.
Which corporate tax return should my company file?
Form C-S (Lite) is for eligible companies with annual revenue of S$200,000 or below, Form C-S for eligible companies with revenue of S$5 million or below, and Form C for all others. Foreign companies and Singapore branches file Form C.
Do I need to file ECI if my company made no profit?
You do not need to file ECI if your annual revenue is S$5 million or below and your ECI is nil. Otherwise, ECI must be filed even if it is nil.
What happens if I miss an IRAS filing deadline?
IRAS may issue an estimated Notice of Assessment and take enforcement action, such as composition or a court summons. Filing on time avoids this.
Can you handle our IRAS tax filing for us?
Yes. Once your company authorises us as its tax agent through Corppass, we can prepare and file your ECI and corporate income tax return on myTax Portal and respond to IRAS queries on your behalf.
What do you need from us for company tax preparation?
Your financial statements (or the accounts we prepare for you), the general ledger, details of fixed assets bought or sold during the year, any grants received, and supporting documents for significant expenses.
How long must my company keep its records?
IRAS requires companies to keep business records for at least five years.
