FormSG e-filing is an interim solution to provide e-filing to bodies of persons filing Form P1, as well as executors, administrators and trustees filing Form T, as IRAS is currently developing the e-filing solution within myTax Portal. myTax Portal e-filing for Form P1 and Form T is expected to be completed by 2027.
4. What is the tax rate for bodies of persons?
Bodies of persons are taxable at the same tax rate as a company, which is 17%.

5. My club or similar institution is not-for-profit. Why are we still being taxed?
Although clubs and similar associations are formed for non-profit purposes, they may still derive income from their operations or from other sources. Where the club is not deemed to be carrying on a business, any profits from the operations will not be subject to income tax. Income from other sources, such as rental income and interest income will still be subject to tax.
If your club or similar institution is formed for charitable purposes, you may wish to register it as a charity with the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY). A charity registered under the Charities Act 1994 is exempt from income tax.
6. I intend to set up a club for charitable purposes. Do I still need to register with the Registry of Societies?
Please visit https://www.mha.gov.sg/mha-e-services/ros/registered-societies or enquire with the Registry of Societies directly for the requirements on registration of societies.
7. Can I claim capital allowances?
If you are deemed to be carrying on a business, you may claim capital allowances on qualifying capital allowances under the Income Tax Act 1947.
If you are not deemed to be carrying on a business, capital allowances will not be applicable, as the income derived from the operations are not taxable.
8. How can I inform IRAS about the change of my clubs’ address?
If there are any changes to the address or office bearers (i.e. the president, treasurer, secretary), the office bearers or any other member of the Management Committee may update the changes on Form P1 or write to us here.
If your clubs’ address has been updated with the Registry of Societies (ROS), IRAS will be informed about the change in your address.
9. Upon dissolution, how do I obtain a tax clearance letter from IRAS?
You may request for a tax clearance letter by writing to us here. You are also required to submit all outstanding returns and accounts (up to the date of dissolution) to IRAS:
The Comptroller of Income Tax
Compliance and Small Volume Taxes Branch
55 Newton Road, Revenue House
Singapore 307987
Upon finalisation of all outstanding tax matters, the tax clearance letter will be issued to you.
10. Can I provide suggestions to improve the design of the e-filing?
Yes, we welcome your suggestions and feedback, which can be provided in the fields directly after submission, or by writing to us here.
