Managing your GIRO arrangement

For a successful GIRO deduction, please make sure that your bank has enough funds on the deduction date and that you have set a suitable payment limit. Do note that some banks may impose bank charges for unsuccessful GIRO deductions.

Date of Deduction

Every 5th of the month.

If GIRO deduction is unsuccessful

If failed, the second deduction will be done on 21st* of the month.

GIRO arrangement will be cancelled after 2 consecutive months of failed deductions (4 failed deductions in a row). You have to make full payment of outstanding tax via the 'Pay Taxes' digital service, or re-activate for the GIRO arrangement via the 'Apply/ Manage GIRO Plan' digital service at myTax Portal to avoid penalties.

Please comply with the GIRO arrangement granted, as failure to do so may result in the denial of future GIRO applications.

* If the deduction date falls on a weekend or public holiday, deduction will be made the next working day.

Re-activate a GIRO arrangement

If your GIRO arrangement has been cancelled, you can re-activate any previous GIRO set up with IRAS via the 'Apply/ Manage GIRO Plan' digital service at myTax Portal.

Upon successful re-activation, you may view your GIRO plan details via the 'View GIRO Plan' digital service at myTax Portal.

Make changes to a GIRO arrangement

Changing bank account or GIRO plan duration

You can log in to myTax Portal to make the changes:

For individuals: Select “Account” > “View GIRO Plan” > View > Edit

For businesses: Select “Account” > “View GIRO Plan” > Click Proceed (For Property Tax Accounts) > View > Edit

Bank account changes: If you're changing your GIRO arrangement to a bank account that has never been registered with IRAS before, and the bank account is not under DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, Bank of China, Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Maybank or MariBank (for individuals) or DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, Bank of China, Maybank or MariBank (for businesses), you will have to submit a new GIRO application (refer to Individuals applying for eGIRO or Businesses applying for eGIRO).
Plan duration changes: You can edit the total duration of your GIRO plan (for monthly instalment only) or change your plan type (from monthly instalment to one-time yearly deduction or from one-time yearly deduction to monthly instalment).

Once edited, your existing GIRO arrangement will be replaced with the updated plan. You can view your updated GIRO plan details via the 'View GIRO Plan' digital service at myTax Portal.

Cancel / Terminate my GIRO Arrangement

If you wish to cancel your existing GIRO arrangement with IRAS, please log in to myTax Portal:

For businesses: Select "Account " > "View GIRO Plan " > Click Proceed (For Property Tax Accounts) > View > Edit (under GIRO Plan Option)

By cancelling the GIRO arrangement, you may still proceed to re-activate the GIRO arrangement for future tax payments.

If you wish to terminate your GIRO arrangement with IRAS, please get in touch with your bank directly. Once your GIRO arrangement has been terminated, you will have to apply for a new GIRO arrangement for future tax payments (refer to Individuals applying for eGIRO or Businesses applying for eGIRO).

Do remember to settle any outstanding tax immediately after the cancellation/termination of GIRO arrangement to avoid late payment penalty.
