Pre-requisites for Using S45 e-Services
1. Active Master GIRO
To use these e-Services, you must be on GIRO. To apply, please complete a Master Giro application form (86KB) and select S45 tax type. A Master GIRO application form once processed successfully, allows you at anytime to add other tax type accounts to be paid by GIRO without having to complete another GIRO application form. You need to use your own bank account when you sign up using this application form.
If you have an existing GIRO arrangement with IRAS and wish to continue with your existing arrangement, you do not need to add these tax types to your Master GIRO form.
2. e-Services Authorisation System (EASY)
EASY is an online system that allows organisations to authorise their employees or a third party to access e-Services on their behalf. Learn more about EASY.
