About Form C-S
As part of IRAS’ efforts to simplify the filing procedure for small companies, a new Form C-S has been introduced from Year of Assessment (YA) 2012. Form C-S is a shortened 3-page Income Tax Return for small companies to report their income to IRAS. Small companies that meet the conditions may use Form C-S, instead of Form C, to declare their income from YA 2012 onwards.
Compared with the Form C, Form C-S has half the line items comprising:
- A statement declaring that the company is eligible for Form C-S filing;
- Information on tax adjustments; and
- Information from the financial accounts.
Essential tax and financial information applicable to most small companies are required in Form C-S. Hence, small companies only need to provide these essential tax and financial information in Form C-S and need not submit their financial statements and tax computations together with the form.
Companies are required to prepare financial statements and tax computation:
Although small companies filing Form C-S are not required to submit their financial statements and tax computations together with Form C-S, they are still required to maintain proper records of their transactions and prepare their financial statements and tax computations. Such records are to be retained and submitted upon IRAS’ request.
