Before getting your tax bill

1. When will I receive my tax bill?

Generally, most taxpayers should receive their tax bills, also known as Notice of Assessment (NOA), from end Apr 2024 to end Sep 2024. As IRAS sends out tax bills in batches, some taxpayers may receive them earlier than others. 

If you have updated your Singapore mobile number with IRAS, you will receive an SMS alert when your tax bill is finalised. To update your mobile number, log in to myTax Portal using your Singpass or Singpass Foreign user Account (SFA), and click on 'Update Contact Details'.


2. I am on GIRO. Why is IRAS deducting from my bank account when I have not received my tax bill?

Once you are on GIRO payment scheme, your instalment payment for your taxes will continue in May each year to April of the following year, based on a Provisional Instalment Plan (PIP). 

Your PIP is computed based on your tax payable for the previous Year of Assessment (YA). The PIP allows you to enjoy the maximum 12 months instalment. 

The tax instalments will be revised subsequently when your current tax bill is finalised. The tax instalments that you have paid will be used to offset your tax assessed and the instalments for the remaining months will be adjusted accordingly.

Excess payment, if any, will be automatically refunded to you. There is no need for you to make a claim for refund.

If you wish to revise the PIP to an amount that is close to your actual tax payable, please email us.

Objection/payment after getting your tax bill

3. What should I do when I receive my tax bill?

You need to check and ensure that your income details and relief claims are accurate in your tax bill. If you have any other income that is not shown in your tax bill or if your relief claims (including those that are prefilled) are incorrect, please inform IRAS of any discrepancy through the “Object to Assessment” digital service in myTax Portal within 30 days from the date of your tax bill.

 

Direct Notice of Assessment (D-NOA)

For taxpayers who are selected for D-NOA initiative, your tax bill would be computed based on your income provided by your employer and previous year’s relief claims. 

Please check your tax bill to ensure that it is accurate. You have a legal duty to inform IRAS of any inaccurate information on your income and/or relief claims in your tax bill. There are penalties for failing to do so.

Examples of discrepancies in your tax bill

  • You have rental income from a tenanted property, but it is not shown in your tax bill.
  • You have employment income from a company that is not included in your tax bill.
  • You are granted Qualifying Child Relief (QCR) for your child whose annual income in the previous year has exceeded $4,000 (i.e. you no longer satisfy the conditions for QCR).
  • Your employment income, which was transmitted to us via Auto-Inclusion Scheme, was double assessed due to duplicate reporting of income in your filing.
  • You are a foreigner employee who has been re-employed in Singapore and has reported your income which was previously assessed during tax clearance.
  • You are under the No-Filing Service (NFS) and did not claim your reliefs as you were unaware that reliefs are not prefilled for first-time claims.
