The approver needs to approve the application within 48 hours, as the application will lapse after 48 hours. Please note that approvals cannot be processed during IRAS system's weekly maintenance hours (2am to 6am on Wednesdays, and 2am to 8:30am on Sundays).

After IRAS receives the approval from the bank, you can view your GIRO plan for the outstanding tax balance (if any) via "Account" > "View GIRO Plan" digital service at myTax Portal.

Applying for GIRO with other Banks

Please complete and mail the Property Tax GIRO Application Form for Businesses to IRAS as eGIRO is not available for the other banks. The GIRO arrangement will be set up within 21 working days. The exact timeline is subject to the processing time of the respective banks. 

• Sign up GIRO for your own taxes using your own bank account: Your GIRO arrangement will be set up for tax payments and IRAS will automatically refund tax credits to your bank account.

• Sign up GIRO to pay taxes for a third party: The GIRO arrangement will be set up for the third party's tax payments only. Should there be any tax credit due to the taxpayer, it shall be refunded to the taxpayer's (i.e., the third party's) registered PayNow-UEN/FIN/NRIC account. 

IRAS will send you a notification to view the notice of your GIRO application status via your preferred notification mode. The GIRO approval notices and Instalment Plan will also be stored in myTax Portal. You may log in to myTax Portal to view your GIRO plan details (Select “Account” > “View GIRO Plan”).

For GIRO applications received after the 20th of the current month, deductions will only commence on the month after the upcoming month.

If your GIRO arrangement has been cancelled and you wish to re-activate any previous GIRO set up with IRAS, please do so via myTax Portal (Select “Account” > “Apply/ Manage GIRO Plan”).

Upon successful re-activation, you may log in to myTax Portal to view your GIRO plan details (Select "Account" > "View GIRO Plan").

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 or Maybank (for individuals) or DBS/POSB, OCBC, UOB, Bank of China or Maybank (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 at myTax Portal (Select "Account" > "View GIRO Plan").

Cancel / Terminate my GIRO Arrangement

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

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.
