If you are facing difficulties in paying your tax, we encourage you to reach out to us early to work out a suitable payment arrangement. Otherwise, a 5% late payment penalty will be imposed on the overdue tax.
It is important that you do not ignore the tax bill or a demand for payment.
We may offer a suitable payment arrangement, such as a longer instalment plan, if you are unable to pay your tax due to unexpected or extenuating circumstances such as:
You can appeal for a longer payment plan via the ‘Apply for Payment Plan’ e-Service at myTax Portal using your SingPass, IRAS Unique Account (IUA) or CorpPass.
We will review your request and inform you of the outcome within 15 working days. Where needed, we may also ask you for more information to better understand and assess your situation.
If your payment plan is approved, you must comply with the payment plan schedule. If you fail to do so, we will cancel the plan and take actions to recover the tax.
