IRAS Singapore Income Tax Deadline for Filings

Estimated Chargeable Income

Estimated Chargeable Income or ECI is an estimate of a company’s chargeable income for a Year of Assessment (YA). All companies in Singapore are required to submit an ECI within three months from the end of its financial year. It is mandatory to file an ECI regardless of the amount of income. A company with a zero income will file a ‘NIL’ ECI.

Administrative Concession

With effect of YA 2013, companies with financial year ending October 2012 and after are exempt from ECI filing for that year if

• ECI is Nil AND
• annual revenue is no more than S$1 million for that financial year.

Corporate Tax Filing Deadline

The filing deadline for corporate income tax return is 30 November. Documents to be submitted are

• Tax computation
• Director’s Report

Form C

The Form C has to be submitted by July every year for the preceding FYE unless an ECI had been submitted within three months after the end of its accounting period which will then give the company an extension until December.

Form C-S

In order to reduce the compliance burden for small firms, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) has simplified the tax filing process for small companies through the Form C-S. Eligible firms may stand to enjoy an extended deadline i.e. 15 December if they e-file the Form C-S.
