Who needs to file tax?
This year, 2.2 million taxpayers stand to benefit from service enhancements including a personal relief checker tool and pre-filled rental expenses for tenanted residential properties. Of these 2.2 million taxpayers, some 1.7 million of them are salaried employees on the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) of Employment Income who will enjoy the convenience of pre-filled information on their online tax forms.

Do you want to plan ahead for tax payment?
From 1 Mar 2016, you can preview your tax bill (Notice of Assessment) and request an early assessment, if you are on the No-Filing Service (NFS) and there is no change to your pre-filled income and relief claims.
If you are on the GIRO payment scheme, opting for early assessment provides you with even more certainty on your tax payment as your GIRO instalment plan will be based on your actual tax payment instead of a provisional instalment plan.
Opt for early assessment now via myTax Portal and preview your tax bill online within three working days!
