Initiative to manage your individual client's income tax matters via myTax Portal
IRAS has launched an initiative to allow individual taxpayers to authorise their tax agents to access their myTax Portal accounts on their behalf via an Authorisation Code.
From 15 Mar 2019, a tax agent who has been authorised to access his client's myTax Portal account on his client's behalf can e-Transact with IRAS (e.g. file tax return) and access the following suite of digital services using his Singpass ID and Authorisation Code.

Generally, the processing time for taxpayers using Singpass is about 5 working days while the processing time for taxpayers without Singpass is about 15 working days.
More information on accessing the myTax Portal accounts on behalf of individual clients can be found in the guide (PDF, 907KB).
If a tax agent has been authorised by an individual client/taxpayer to access his myTax Portal account via an IRAS-issued Authorisation Code, the individual client/taxpayer will be deemed as having authorised his tax agent to:
- Handle his individual income tax matters;
- Correspond with IRAS on his individual income tax matters through any mode of communication including telephone calls, myTax Mails/ emails, hardcopy letters and in-person meetings.
