FAQs
Q1. I was able to e-File my previous GST returns through myTax Portal. However I am not able to e-File my current GST return as I have problems logging in to myTax Portal . Why?
You may not be able to log in to myTax Portal due to the following reasons:
(i) Your access code has been revoked as you have exceeded the number of login attempts. In this case, please apply for a new access code by completing the
access code application form (52KB) and submit the form to us by fax/ mail.
(ii) Your authorisation record for GST matters has expired. You may have placed an end-date (i.e. “Effective To”) to your authorisation record and hence you are unable to log in to your organisation’s GST matters after this date. In this case, you have to delete your past record and re-authorise yourself for GST matters through
e-Services Authorisation System (EASY) using the organisation’s Access Code and your SingPass/ IRAS PIN.
(iii) You have been deregistered from GST. Therefore you will not be able to log in to myTax Portal. In this case, please call our customer service officer on 1800 356 8633 to request for the paper returns.
