Tax Filing for Employees of AIS Employers
AIS employers have to submit electronically the employment income information of their employees to IRAS. When employees of AIS employers file their tax returns, they do not need to include this submitted information again.
Checking if Your Employer is an AIS Employer
You may use the AIS Organisation Search to check if your employer:
- Is in the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS); and
- has submitted for Year of Assessment (YA) 2020.
If your employer is in AIS and has yet to submit the information to IRAS for YA 2020, please inform your employer to do so immediately. They should refer to the AIS webpage for details on the preparation and submission of information to IRAS.

- Have received a notification (e.g. SingPass letter, IRAS PIN mailer, tax form of SMS) from IRAS informing you to file your tax return; or
- Have other income to declare or want to indicate your claims for personal reliefs, where applicable.
When filing your tax return, you:
- Should not manually include employment income and deductions (made through your salary) in the tax return. Based on the information submitted by your AIS employer, these details will be reflected in the Income Deduction Relief Statement (IDRS) when you file your tax returns via myTax Portal.
